[DeTomaso] Long Week with #4268

[Donny Williams]

I am thinking you might possibly want to go to a different clutch...Which 
setup are you using Your clutch pedal real heavy?  Sounds like an awful lot 
of clutch parts to be breaking and I know you agree.
I still have a stock setup in mine and no wimp of a 351 in front of it and 
have never driven through it yet.  My clutch pedal effort is far from what I 
would consider heavy feeling.   And so far in 5 years never caused me any 
trouble.  Might be the fact Pantera's are only 3K lbs in weight that my 
stock clutch fits the bill even with the big HP?????
