Thanks a lot for the article. I do have access to the Registry publications but I haven't read many back issues. Need to fix that omission! Wish I had read this in fact before I replaced my clutch fluid a few days back - (a) I didn't know what to make of the rubber bladder inside so ended up spilling a bunch of brake fluid, and (b) I used DOT 3 brake fluid like the cap said to! Anyway looks like my clutch is working ok, so I'll leave it alone for now.

As for the squeal, it's disappointing that "up to 25%" of the ZR-1s experience the pilot bushing spinning in the pocket, which I'm pretty sure is what mine is doing. It only happens at first start and only for a couple of seconds. I find I can minimize it by starting the car in neutral. Weird.
