Thank you Hanleyclifford and Yeahjohn. Sooo, I guess I have a major on my hands. Boston offers to be relatively warm this week so I will try to get the disassembly done at that time. Once home and parts cleaned, I will try to determine cause of slippage - as you suggest, I I will post photos. Do you know what the thickness specifications are for the clutch plates?. (Perhaps if I can see light through them, they are too thin?)
As you suggest, I will post some photos when I get it apart.
Regarding reassembly, Don calls for driving wedges between a loosened oil pan and the rear of the block. I will not be able to do that and wonder how much more difficult it will make life. I really don't want to remove the entire engine to loosen the pan bolts. G------------
