[V8Vairs] V8 Clutch effort

[mike & bev mann]

tim-my reasoning is that if it takes x amount of force to move something
thru a hole (5/8) then it would take less force to move the same amount
thru  a larger hole(3/4). i know on mine i'm using a 3/4" mc with a slave
cylinder and the effort is very reasonable. contact wilwood to make sure
i'm right as they are great to work with-mike
