<e36> clutch judder repair, now clutch release MUCH easier?

I have a '95 325i, & the infamous clutch judder was fixed yesterday at 49=

to
cover it since I'd tried to get another dealer to fix it previous to the
warrenty expiring & they wouldn't look at it) - but now the pressure requ=

the parts used (21-21-1-223-395 & 21-21-1-223-546) seem to be the proper
