Re: 164 clutch throw-out question

[f.rastinejad@xxxxxxx]

I changed the clutch on my 164S three years ago, and while I may have 
forgotten some of the details, I'm sure I didn't spin the engine to seat the 
TO.   I recall putting it all together and moving the lever at the slave 
cylinder until I heard the TO click in.  If there is a good reason to spin 
the engine, I would certainly appreciate the explanation.  -Farzan
