Subject: [Spridgets] Important correction...Re: Clutch Play
Yes. Actually, I completely misstated the purpose of the spacer. It is the
amount of pressure plate travel after the throw out begins to move it. You
need the correct minimum play so you do not overdrive the pressure plate.
The clutch will fail very rapidly if that happens.
