This thread is great....
You guys are funny... sorry I missed on the "virtual group internet DIY,"...not so sure I would want to go this alone (anyone in MD want to do this together?)
So, my question is...does anyone have a list of pointers or additions to the p-car diy that they want to share with the rest of us?
and 2. Anyone want to send a couple of more pics our way to help document / get a better perspective of whats what?
TIA !

Don,
The part number and I think a picture on shown on P-Car. com in the DIY section. If you can check out the number/colour of the lever you'll know if they lied.
Cheers,
David

Alf,
I thought it was a pretty straight forward DIY. The difficult parts are getting some of the pieces off, or back together. The steps themselves are the easy part.
I have to tell you guys though, I had trouble finding my 7 mm wrench last night. I went keep going and figured I find it later, when I needed it. I found it, still hanging off the nipple on the slave cylinder from the last time I bleed the thing, probably in August.

Thanks Chris, now you have caused another delay waiting for the bushings I plan to order! 
But it does make sense to do it all while I am there. 
I have no close dealers so I need to get them shipped where do you recommend for quick service?
Thanks

Finally got a chance to finish today
Replaced kinematic lever, flushed clutch and brakes. Then changed tranny fluid while it was up.
When I first started driving the clutch pickup point was right at the floor. After 15 minutes of driving it is higher, back to about where it was before. The lever pops all the way back now.
BUT when I push the clutch in, the first 1-2 inches go in with very little effort and then I can feel it increase in pressure. The first 1-2 inches don't feel like it is pushing any fluid at all. Strange. It's definitely better, but not as good as I would expect.
Thoughts? I hope to get more driving time tomorrow to see if that does anything.
