[TR] Clutch movement

[Bob Labuz]

Dave,

I have to agree. I just switched rides from my 72 6 to my 63 4 and the 
first time out last Friday, I thought my clutch on the 4 was too soft. 
But I checked it out on a short drive around the block and everything 
was fine. Fluid level was fine and so was the operation. It was just I 
was used to the much harder pedal on the 6. Now on the 3, it is even 
better. I know the 3 and 4 have the same pressure plate and slave but I 
think the MC must be a bigger diameter than on the 3. I have to say, the 
clutch operation on the 3 is the best of the 3 Triumphs I own.

All engage at the same spot, just that all 3 require different amounts 
of force from my foot!
