I'm going to jump in here because it looks like Daniel's talking about
the clutch free play under the dash and Fred's talking about adjusting
the free play down at the slave cylinder. Since I don't have a roadster
to look at, wanted to ask for a clarification for myself and to make sure
Daniel has the right items adjusted. We can't have him leave all of those
SF lovelies stranded.<G>
FWIW, Ron
