[Tigers] Stiff Clutch

[Will Seay]

Jay,

I think that what you're describing is just the nature of the beast.  The Tiger
clutch is an old-school design with no mechanical advantage gained from the
rotation of the flywheel/clutch.  I'm the original owner of my Tiger and I can
assure you that the clutch was stiff driving off the showroom floor.  You can
either get used to it (it'll tone those legs of yours right up) or swap it out
for a modern clutch such as Centerforce.

I have a question about my dad's clutch.  I have to say, it is the firmest
clutch I've ever pressed.  I get used to it after driving for a few days or
weeks.  But, it really is crazy stiff.  So stiff that I can't believe it is good
for the clutch pedal pivot points.  (and just to be clear, I used to race
bicycles and ride around looking for the steepest hills I could climb, and still
ride.  So my legs are in no way wimpy!)

I have no idea what clutch is in there.  Or what combination of master/slave
there is.  I believe they look like stock hydraulics.

Is this something I should consider/look into?  Any pointers about it?

Thanks,
