Thanks guys.
Yes, there is some wear marks on the pressure plate fingers. Looking at the clutch assembly, it has a 1998 date stamp, and its a Sach unit, so good quality. The flywheel shows no evidence of scoring no does the pressure plate and there is plenty of life in the friction plate...
Located in SoCal, so no salt on the roads = no crusty parts!
I did snag the insurace card from the glovebox, so I know the PO's name and address... A lady!

I went back to the junkyard looking for the part I missed...somehow I thought there was a "clutch fluid reservior"... Came back confused. I was looking at the Oil filter housing on the engine.
The Brake fluid Reservior was gone, and no sign of a pipe going off of it.
Today, looking at the clutch pedal, with the fluid cylinder attached, I see no fluid intake... I only see a outlet, that went to the slave cylinder on the transmission...
Here is a pic...


The boss halfway up the body has a black plug, but its a blind plug.
How do you bleed the clutch fluid/fill the system???
Confused!
