<VV> Loadside Nightmare

[corvairs]

        Since the assembly is out check and make sure that, when bolted 
up, the pressure plate fingers compress but are still bent up slightly.

(Then it just occured to me!)  One of the weakest points in the FC 
clutch system is the fact that, with some original design 1961-63 
cables, the bracket that bolts the clutch end to the crossmember is 
weakly attatched and can slip on the cable housing when the clutch is 
depressed, essentially making the cable "longer" then it will not fully 
activate. Late 63-65 cables had a stronger bracket on the casing which 
eliminated this slipping. Could this be it?    Lon
