[QUOTE="Fred W, post: 1111751, member: 3828"] Ray, I think maybe you've got it a bit backwards. As the clutch pack wears, and the plates become thinner, the pressure plate will move further inboard when released, and push the clutch rod to protrude [I]further [/I]into the slave cylinder on the opposite side of the engine, under the clutch spring's tension. I suppose that it [I]might[/I] be possible that, with enough wear, eventually the protruding rod would cause the slave's piston to bottom out in its bore when releasing the clutch, but if/when that happened it would hold the clutch slightly disengaged and cause it to slip. That isn't what we are dealing with here. Whether the plates are worn or not it should require the exact same stroke from the slave through the rod to push the pressure plateback the same distance and release those worn plates [/QUOTE]
