[QUOTE="Howard, post: 75629, member: 271"] Thanks for those gems, real food for thought. I'll reserve judgement until I strip the ESA and see what state it's in. Thinking about it, I don't think it's been apart since the 80s (doesn't time fly) so wear and tear is probably a factor in ts current operation. It came unscrewed at Cadwell when I was running second to Roy Robertson (my almost one claim to fame on a track) and I've hated the thing ever since, it was refitted with two locking wires, Loctite and probably three dot punches and a dab of weld (joke). It's a strange component when you start to think what it does. Does it protect the transmission from the engine? If so it needs to be at the crank, or does it protect the transmission from road shocks? In which case it needs to be at the wheel. Is the cush clutch a compromise or a better mounting position? Do we need all three? A coffee beckons.................................. [/QUOTE]
