Alfa Romeo Milano/GTV6 Transaxle Clutch problems

Some info for those who dont have deep pockets to go out and buy an IMO way overpriced clutch assembly. I had to delve inside here again, as the new disc installed in 2008 with only ~60000km had a broken spring. I could have had one of those clutch hubs re-lined by a brake/clutch rebuilder OR purchased a new disc, but this old Sachs unit still probably has 100,000km left of service
