[DeTomaso] Clutch Slave Adjustment

[asajay at asajay.com]

Will,

I've been struggling with this myself.  On my Pantera, as long as I've  
owned it (about 10 years now), that bolt has never come near the stop,  
and it's adjusted all the way toward the stop.  My clutch used to work  
fine.  Now, after replacing the clutch, pressure plate and having the  
flywheel surfaced, and rebuilding both the master and the slave....  
the car is in the air and I can't really check the adjustment, though  
I've basically put it back in the very same position.

I did try rotating the lever on the trans one groove toward the slave,  
but found I had -no- room for movement then.  So I don't know.  I also  
think I -might- have a long throw slave, but don't really know how to  
tell.
