so here's the update...
the truck's on a wrecker to the shop

that always makes me sad
good news is it ain't the flywheel in pieces!

it's the pressure plate that's in pieces :(
better news is that the clutch kit i installed only 20k miles ago has a
lifetime warranty!! praise GOD!!! 
even better is that my godparents own the shop and are
really doing me a favor on labor!
now that the transmission is out, i guess it's time to upgrade to the better f-body slave cylinder & do the drill mod!!
