[6pack] .75 bore clutch?

[alan salvatore]

Worn out slave cylinder causes clutch release problems.
Worn clutch fork also.  Not the master cylinder being .70.
I would stick with the.70 mc. Unless you like a heavy clutch.

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.

brakes would hold up as well with the new fluid.

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.

(Heard the seals will go bad when switching fluid types).

a .75 bore. Is it better? How does it change the clutch pedal feeling?
Maybe a longer pedal throw?
