[DeTomaso] More clutch photos and maybe confusion.

[Asa Jay Laughton]

Okay, so I got a chance to do some side-by-side comparison of my 
original clutch and the Napa remanufactured unit.  I could really use 
some eyes on this to help evaluate a go/no-go situation.

Just click NEXT after viewing the comments with each photo.

Here are the basics:
- Virtually identical case, plate and hole alignment
- Bob-weights are different but do not look like they would interfere 
with anything
- Levers are different. New unit has fingers protruding a quarter inch 
more toward the trans.  This is the part that concerns me.

Is there enough room in the adjustment of the clutch to back the 
throw-out bearing off a quarter inch from where it is now?  Or do I look 
for a better pressure plate?

Thanks all,
Asa Jay
