A friend of mine has a very late Spitfire (I am not entirely sure what year),
and when he bought it the previous owner gave him what seems to me to be
dubious advice. He said not to ease the clutch out, as that would damage the
hydraulics and the clutch itself, but to pop it. I just can't believe that
popping the clutch from a stop is the right way to do it.
Can anyone confirm this advice? Or state (fairly) categorically that it
should not be done? My thought is that the guy meant not to ease out when
running, but to release it fairly quickly. But not to pop it at a light.
Thanks. Please post answers to the list, or, preferably, as I get the digest,
e-mail them to dh0a@lehigh.edu Thank you!!
Donald
