[Spridgets] Important correction...Re: Clutch Play

[soavero at yahoo.com]

Yes. Actually, I completely misstated the purpose of the spacer. It is the
amount of pressure plate travel after the throw out begins to move it.  You
need the correct minimum play so you do not overdrive the pressure plate. The
clutch will fail very rapidly if that happens.
