Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/GB.1/AT.3.12.40 - 2 - The relationship between the throwout race movement and pedal movement is 1 to 11.8. We would prefer the race movement not to exceed .230 ------ = .021" 11.8 If you could remove the period and increase the clutch stiffness by 20% we would feel happy. We shall be writing you on tank clutches shortly, Yours faithfully, | ||
