Since we're into hydraulics this week I thought I'd ask the list for
an opinion on two questions regarding clutch operation. :-)

1. Is there any reason that regular hydraulic oil could not be
substituted for the DOT 3,4,5 etc., in the clutch MC of my '74 Spit?
(Please note: I am not considering trying this. Just curious.)

2. My slave cylinder contains an internal spring that acts on the
piston, always pushing out.   It appears that the design intent is to
provide a self-adjusting clutch where lost motion is taken up
automatically.  What, if anything, keeps the throwout bearing from
constantly touching the pressure plate release fingers under this
light spring pressure?

Cheers!
