 Smitty- Yes, I was asking exactly that- how far the fingers have to move to release the clutch- I'm converting to hydraulic actuated clutch, as I'm sick and tired of breaking clutch cables, and was worried that the master cylinder and slave cylinder combination thatI chose wasn't going to throw enough. As it happens, the combination of 3/4" diameter piston on the master, and 7/8" diameter piston  on the slave will work slick for my purposes, as the master will travel a maximum of 1.5", and that will cause a maximum movement of 1.1" at the slave, which is plenty of throw.Kevin Nash 63 turbo, daily driver
