Hi Carl,

thanks for your comments. I hadn't been told my comments were screwy yet tonight, it's wonderfully refreshing...

At this point it only takes a >small amount of slave cylinder movement to disengage the clutch enough to >slip. (i.e. Clutch disengages at top of pedal travel.) Clutches that >catch really low in the travel are usually due to the clutch >master/slave, not the clutch disc itself.

Think I mentioned the SLAVE in one of my posts, maybe it got deleted?

Actually, no. When the PP/disk/FW wears and PP moves in, the fingers on the PP move out. Got any screwy ideas what happens then? Maybe, I know it's a screwy idea, the total travel that the SLAVE gets to do is changed. Because the fingers push back against, awe, you know the rest so nevermind. I'll let you and Chaz educate me some more.

>I have had a couple of cars with a burned-out clutch, and have NEVER had >a problem "keeping the car from moving"; in fact the opposite is true.

Gee, YMMV, right? I just had one on my Aero, and while it would slip under load in 4th at speed, it didn't slip in 1-3 unless you stood on it. It *did* engage closer to the floor, and meant shifts needed to be more deliberate to prevent minor grinding. Did the new clutch et al, and call me screwy, but the shifts were smoother in forward gears. Didn't change any Chaz Oil or anything.

But then again I do, apparently, have screwy ideas. :-)
