Stretch, I've had pretty good luck with Fibe clutch masters and slaves, but maybe their rubber parts should be avoided.

SD Blue, This TD is the first 617 car I've done much work on but I've done several 240D drive shaft jobs with never a problem but they dont have that front balance disc which are kind of in the way of getting the flex disc lose.

I'm getting the sense that folks dont think that a little detente in the U joint would cause the support to fail, epically within such a short time, or at least no one has jumped out there with info to that effect. I'll crawl under and take a look at that support next week and get back.
