Re: clutch

Well, it may be Yahoo! groups suicide to respond to my own post and 
simultaneously question a moderator, but I must. Understandably 
driving only two DeLoreans doesn't make me a pro, but both clutches 
were stiffer than any truck I have driven. In many of the reviews 
that I have read about DeLoreans, when they first came out, it was 
common to read remarks about the clutch as being "hard" or "stiff". I 
will say that if your breaking out into a sweat, then there might be 
a problem, but it certainly isn't like anything I have driven... 
isn't that why we bought these babies anyway!?

[Fresh moderator note: it is not DML suicide to question me! My guess is that both DeLoreans with "stiff" clutches probably had the original polymer clutch line. With the braided line a DeLorean clutch should operate smoothly and easily.]
