RE: [DML] Reverse grinding

Perhaps the carpet or floor mat is not allowing the clutch pedal to be fully
depressed.

You're right.  I posted too quickly.  The opposite would have to happen-that
is, the step would have to be higher than spec to cause the problem.  I'm
always leary of Delorean-dumb shops who re-surface the flywheel "just
because".  I've known a couple of instances where the flywheel was milled
flat and the car wouldn't move.  My reaction was instinctive, not
thoughtful.

You're also surely right about them buggering the cross-gate .  Makes you
wonder if they disconnected it at all.
