- All you guys that have the Datsun tranny in your Spridgets please let me know something. How much pressure does it take to push the clutch petal? I am at Gerard's house here in San Francisco an we ha

- Mine takes 'normal' pressure - about same as other manual transmissions I've driven. FWTW, I have a 1098 slave cylinder on mine. Jim Rogers San Juan Capistrano, CA

- I am using Paul's kit and a 1275 flywheel machined by Paul for the Datsun cover and pressure plate with a 948 slave cylinder. It just seems it should not be this hard. If I have to drive in any traff

- I really like the concept of using the Datsun pressure plate, but I still have the Rivergate solution. I did pop for the custom slave cylinder, and my clutch feels very normal. Youu DID remove the p

- I have the Rivergate kit. My recollection is that it required a lot of adjusting to get it to feel right, but after that, no worries. This is on a '65 Mk3 Sprite with original master but I can't reme

- Hi Mike, I'm using the 1275 slave and have no unusual force required to use it. I have an extra rebuildable 1275 slave if you want to pick it up on your way back to I5 and home. Hey, wait a minute, h
