Tym,
In case you haven't gotten a private answer to your question, here's a
belated response.
The standard Tiger clutch slave cylinder bore diameter is 7/8". The
standard Tiger clutch master cylinder bore diameter is 5/8" (the Alpine is
3/4"). The movement of the slave versus master cylinder pistons is equal to
the fluid displaced, which goes as the diameter squared. For 7/8' versus
5/8" that's 49 versus 25, or about a factor of two more distance traveled
by the clutch master cylinder piston compared to the clutch slave piston.
The mechanical advantage of the clutch pedal is about 12"/2.5" = 4.8, or
pretty close to 5. Thus, in rough numbers, a 1" depression of the clutch
pedal produces a 0.1" movement of the clutch slave piston. Not much, huh?
