Just FYI...
From front to rear:
Engine - Flywheel - Clutch - Pressure plate - Throwout Bearing - Fork
When you push the clutch pedal in, it pushes the fork (a lever arm) pushing forward on the bearing and pressure plate releasing the clutch.
Heres a good page if you wanna see some animations:

Hope to see you guys this weekend. I will probably be there all day just to hang out and take some photos. Maybe even go for a drive, catch a few beers downtown, who knows?

I will probably be there around 10:00-10:30. Do you have a number I can reach you at Sunday morning to tell you exactly what time I will be there? What is gladding close to? I am not very familiar with the VCU campus.

sunday...i thought it ws on saturday. Any way I'm pming you my phone number.. As for gladding, its across from Monroe park, right after the engineering building. I'm not sure what direction you'll be coming from though. If you are on belvadere or you cross it then when you turn on to main you will go by the engineering building on your left then you will see another building. Thats gladding. If all goes to plan I will be waiting outside.

I was driving down Broad Sunday and a white RX-7 with a TII hood pulled out and sped up to me. He was trying to ask me what kind of wheels I have. Anyway, we pulled over and started talking. He dropped in an LT-1 with a 6 speed. When he left, he immediately shifted to 2nd gear and burned the hell out of his rear tires, in other words, he didn't even need first gear. HUGE blackmarks while sideways down Broad St. That was cool.

Since it's going to be raining all day, I can show off my newest mod!
A WORKING WIPER SWITCH.
For anybody that would be interested by this kinda thing, CAP has a S4 body with an auto and only 113K miles back in the yard. It's minus some stuff...including a switch. But the engine is all there.
They have 3 S4s two red and one blue.
