Thanks... Any guess at how hard this would be to trouble shoot? Would you consider it a high risk of being an unresolvable PITA problem?

Or said another way, if you thought a car was worth $3500 if the problem didn't exist, would you:

a) walk away
b) offer $X less than $3500 (specify X)

Given my lack of knowledge in the whole area, I'll probably pass. I'm just wondering if this is actually a good deal on an otherwise desireable car. In some sense it's an opportunity to get a "discounted" new clutch (since the price of the car is reduced for repairs, so you might as well slip in a new clutch while you're in there ).
