[DMCForum] Re: Porsche Tranny




I've had an email and phone conversation recently with the new owner
of the rotary-powered car.  He is estimating the clutch pedal
pressure at 80 pounds!  I told him that I would not like to be the
guy to drive that car in a lengthy parade.  I am surprised that the
pins and other bits of the clutch pedal installation could handle
that kind of pedal effort over the long haul.
