[DMCForum] Re: Porsche Tranny

[tmpintnl@xxxxxxxxx]

I've had an email and phone conversation recently with the new owner 
of the rotary-powered car.  He is estimating the clutch pedal 
pressure at 80 pounds!  I told him that I would not like to be the 
guy to drive that car in a lengthy parade.  I am surprised that the 
pins and other bits of the clutch pedal installation could handle 
that kind of pedal effort over the long haul.
