- I think the bolt retro fit is considered a permanent fix. I have one car and it works just fine. The throwout bearing should handle any variations that the bolt could cause since it pivots on a paral

- I thought it might be wear-in problem, but there are a few things I should have done anyway (like replace all clutch parts at once). Furthermore, many people have told me that you should be able to
