Re: clutch warning signs?

["Paul Irvine" <pi@domain.elided>]

When the clutch on my Alfetta went out it hadn't really slipped at all
(noticably) but this is with a pretty tired and weak 2 liter motor. Then one
day I went to the store and it started to slip really bad. So bad that I
figure if I had not had level ground between me and home I wouldn't have
made it.

digesters,
answered my own question: i can get the clutch to slip
in 5th on a hill (previously i had slipped it shifting
from 2nd to 3rd under heavy acceleration).

so now the questions is: what kind of time should i
budget for swapping in a rebuilt unit (i presume it's
not worth my while to rebuild it myself)?

thanks,
