Clutch Venting!
My SSR spent the night in my garage. This morning about 0800, I moved it outside under its own power. The clutch earned a D+. Outside air temp about 72ºF
At 0930, I went out to try the clutch, and it earned a D+ with the engine off, and with the engine on, trans in gear. Outside airtemp about 77ºF I ran the engine for less than thirty seconds. With the engine running and the trans in gear, the pedal hesitates on the way back up, but does make the trip.
At 1200, back out to the SSR, tried the clutch, D- engine on or off. Outside airtemp about 82ºF
Just went out to check it again a few moments ago. Engine off, clutch gets a D-, but gets an F with the engine running and the trans in gear, since the pedal sticks to the floor. Outside temp is 88ºF.
OK at 3:30pm the clutch pedal stays on the floor unless you pick it up. The outside air temp is 97ºF and inside the "trudk" it's 120ºF. Tried to drive the car back in the garage but couldn't. Made a mighty fine video which I'm posting to YouTube. Link here as soon as it loads.
