[alfa] On the road again

[Mark Denovich <mark@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

On the advice of Ethan Schartman (who has driven my Verde) concerning my 
broken spherical pivot.  I took the extra step of removing the front 
clutch housing so that I could lube the input shaft.   The clutch is now 
dramaticly easier to operate.  I really didn't think it was that heavy 
before, but I guess it was.  It was probably a major contributing factor 
to the demise of the pin too.

While I was under there, I replaced the transmission mounts.  The 
driver's side mount had separated (what is the lifespan of this part?). 
 I also installed a polyurethane dedion bush.   Everything but the bush 
was a fight.   It was just one of those days in the garage.   Actually 
the exhaust was surprisingly easy.   Stainless steel band clamps are the 
way to go.
