Regarding Rick L.'s numbers, as I recall he told me that he had been using his wife's antique Belleek China bowl to catch the clutch fluid, and when the TO bearing slipped off, it landed in the middle of the bowl and broke it. He was forced to replace the bowl with like kind, thus the unusually large cost involved.
