[Fot] TR3-4 Clutch

[Bill Babcock]

I use a quartermaster two plate rally clutch. The key to pedal effort and
better control over the vicious hook up is a smaller master cylinder. I think
we're using a .5" or a 5/8. I'd probably go smaller if I could find one. The
smaller MC also makes it easier to avoid overstroking the clutch--you might
not even need a pedal stop, though it's worth making sure if you switch. I use
a saab concentric throwout bearing as well.

Stuff breaks on the stock clutches--at least it did for me. I've broken
Quartermasters too, but only from over-stroking and/or a long season. I ran
one for the entire All Aluminum tour and the year after. It was trashed, but
it never complained.
