I have a stock clutch as far as I know. I'm at 131,xxx miles and have had it since 84,xxx. I'd say the clutch has about 2-3 inches of engagement and about 6 inches of dead space if you will.. It's weird, I've never driven another standard car with a clutch like this.

Mine's the same way... Not sure if it's stock or not, but guessing it probably is. Nice that it still isn't slipping at almost 130K.

I kinda like the clutch the way is. It would make stealing the car more difficult, and could potentially thwart friends/acquaintances from driving your car

A 10 gallon tank is ideal for a baby, as the big open spaces can make them nervous, as well as difficult to find!
