My Airedale Pup ate the box fullof rubber parts and plastic clutch bushings back around 1990. He learned to duck and run when I yelled certain words... I managed to salvage enough pieces to put the clutch together! When I finished the porch railing I placed the front door outside the dogs domain so that this would not reoccur and it has not! The dog is 10 1/2 now and getting old and creaky, I get misty eyed when I watch him hobble around in the cold. I know we don't have a lot of time left. I'd gladly feed him clutch parts for days on end if it would make him young again! -- Mark Price Morgantown, WV 1969 AMC Rambler, 4.0L, EFI, T-5 2004 Grand Cherokee Laredo, 4.7L, Quadratrac II " I realize that death is inevitable.
