[mkiv] crank walk

[Jeremy Cooper]

I did exactly what you said and I got no movement. 
This doesn't make sense!  Although a little bit of a
relief, I still don't understand what could be making
the rubbing/grinding noise when the clutch pedal is
pushed in.  Also causing rpm drop?  Is it possible
that it could be a T/O bearing or pilot bearing?  I
certainly hope so but I doubt it.

I don't know the exact pedal pressure on my clutch but
I know a bunch of people are using the HPF disk with
ACT PP.  Also I heard that an unbalanced clutch could
cause crankwalk.  I didn't know shops sold unbalanced
clutches or that it was a good idea to have them
balanced but who knows...

I wish I knew of a good shop to take it to in Northern
VA, I just don't trust the ones in my area, not enough
Supra experience.

feel free to chime in anyone!

Thanks,
Jeremy
