[QUOTE="Cyborg, post: 107062, member: 3426"] There appear to be different versions out there and they get mixed reviews. I'm curious to see how Oldhaven makes out with his setup. He has the same clutch/gearbox and similar birthday. No room to extend the clutch release arm in the gearbox, so I think I will take a stab at making a multiplier. There seems to be oodles of travel at the pressure plate and the distance between engaged and disengaged is relatively narrow by comparison. It certainly looks like a further change in ratio could be accommodated without any worries of clutch drag. I suppose I could get the DDG out and actually measure things and then figure out what sort of ratio would be best and then make a crude one to test and a proper one if it passes the smell test. Maybe a better cable and oil in the G/B would help a bit, but there is something odd here with my setup. The clutch release arm and roller were replaced with new. Peeking into the cable access shows everything where it is supposed to be and the roller turns freely etc and it was given a drop or two of oil during assembly. [/QUOTE]
