I used the diaphragm clutch from LuK, via Clutchmaster (thanks Joe
Alexander).  Great action and feel.  Cost around $130 for the pressure
plate, clutch plate and TO bearing.  I had considered re-using the Sachs
pressure plate I pulled from my 1988 Saab 9000S (150,000 miles) but the
price was low enough their kit made perfect sense.  I'm not sure what BPNW
gets for their kit, but the LuK kit is sweet also.
