...and an excellent one, at least for the TRs. It's much more difficult to
effect such a device on the Herald-based transmissions, though, where the
slave cylinder bolts right to the bellhousing and all the "works" are
inside same.
As I alluded to in my previous message, I've never had a spring-type
clutch freeze up, although I've been through the routine with the
diaphragm-type clutches on a couple of occasions. I wonder why the
spring-types don't seem to freeze up as much? Any ideas?
