Re. 21-G-1V. Clutch.

The following is copy of JLE{J. Lee Evans - Chassis Test Manager}'s report regarding this :-

"I tried this clutch with Er. and consider it is a definite improvement and if we can rely on the production clutches being up to this standard, after the mileage this car has done, I feel that the clutch troubles will be reduced to a minimum.

There is one point, and that is that this clutch is rather on the slow side in stopping."
