[6pack] .75 bore clutch?

[Btp44 at aol.com]

The reduction of the master cyl. bore dia. was to reduce pedal effort.  
Which it did, but also reduces the stroke of the slave cyl, which can cause  
clutch release problems if there is wear in the pivot points of the  linkage.

Thanks Jim. 
I guess the brake master cylinder was the one I heard I really need to  buy 
new. Good to know you clutch cylinder has been fine. I wonder if the  
brakes would hold up as well with the new fluid.

For what it's worth, I went  straight from DOT 3 to silicone. I replaced 
the master cylinder because it  was old, but I kept the slave. Flushed it all 
out with silicone fluid and  never had a problem in the following three 
years I owned the car. I would  stay with the .70 clutch. There was a reason it 
was changed, but for the  life of me I cannot remember. My '72 had the .75 
bore part. The effort  seemed okay but I didn't care much for the long throw.

Subject: [6pack] .75  bore clutch?


I am  planning on switching my brake fluid to silicone based. Which means I 
can't  use my master or clutch cylinders and need to buy new ones. (Heard 
the seals  will go bad when switching fluid types). 
I have a 1976 model that uses a  .70 bore clutch slave but see there is a 
.75 bore. Is it better? How does it  change the clutch pedal feeling? Maybe a 
longer pedal  throw?
Advice?

James
