play at the slave means it requires moving the pedal (more fluid)
further to execute the shift.. I suppose that could be categorized as a
preference. Just not one a racer or me (;~)) wants... It will likely
ultimately lead to premature slave cup failure due to more than
necessary movement of the piston....at the distal end of the slave bore..
