You know it is fairly easy to do it yourself. I did mine in my garage in an afternoon, bum arm and all, and still made it to my Uncle's concert that night. If you are fairly mechanically inclined and have the tools it is not hard to do. It is even easier/faster to do with two people.

Finally had a chance to drive a bit more in stop/go traffic, which is where my clutch noise would show itself... Totally gone.. They even found an insufficient lube condition on a couple other parts that see frequent movement and a bind the clutch actuator.. R&R'd those for me... Car sounds much better -- clutch feels better as well..

Got a full replacement on the main crank damper and A/C belt -- so far so good, but I'll have to drive it longer to see if it hops off yet again..

Car came out of the shop spotless as well.

Definitely a topnotch dealer...

So do you know what parts required lubrication? Are these things that need grease as normal maintenance?

Geez, that steering shaft lube issue has been around since my 99 Silverado. The fix for the clunk sound was initially apply more lube, then they re-engineered the shaft. Some things never change. Thanks for the info.

Had another great experience with Eric and Kevin. Got the torque converter put in and upgraded brake fluid to dot 4. Barely took them a day to get it done and allows me to have enough break in time before the infamous gld meet. It's pretty cool to see the car shift at 4k/rpm and drop to only 3500 rpm and keep it in the cars sweet spot.
