Indeed sorry for that...

Even found an easier way, at least for the clock signals. As they are 
generated from a 74HCT4060 right now they are 5V. Replacing it with a 74HC4060 
(or 4040) will allow me to reduce Vcc to 3V, so that the output will match.
Thanks anyway...

Will check it... Have another board in backup for the worst case.

Thanks so far... (c:
