<VV> Vega clutch

[Kevin Clark kevin@kcvairbrush.com]

I had one of those in my Monza. It provided higher pressure against  
the disk. Acted like an off / on switch.

The clutch pedal felt stiff like lots of weight on a leg press at a  
gym. It snapped two clutch cables in short order until I filed away  
sharp edges where you connect your clutch cable ball end in the  
clutch pedal arm.

Then gradually a problem with shifting became an issue. Over time I  
kept shortening the clutch cable at the back end from the tunnel pan  
by turning the swivel in for the clutch rod linkage until I ran out  
of thread. I couldn't figure out why, I thought the cable was  
stretching. Turns out the clutch and brake pedal assembly under the  
dash was breaking off at the weld.

I ended up selling the clutch to someone with a dunebuggy.
