[DeTomaso] Long throw!

[Göran Malmberg]

Long throw slave cylinders are beeing discussed every now and then. As I am trying
a new cluch I sort of run in to these sort of problem myself. The racing shop did only 
had these marcell thing on the shelf, so I bought one. If It dosen work I just order 
another one then. However, the pedal become VERY soft, much depending on my
pedal lever mechanism, but also from to sort a slave stroke. Ok, its a combination
of the two. So I removed the lever stuff and tok a Volvo 140 alu-clutch-slave, turned 
the outside round and turned a sleve chrimed on the outside to fit the bracket.
It gave 28mm stroke inplace of the stock slave 22mm.  Obviosly the marcell
steals stroke. 22mm created a clutch drag. Hevent been driven the car yet, but I
will report how it turns out. The Volvo slave is cheap and has sealings to buy.
Pedal is still soft, but feels like very great clutch control.
