Re: The Electromatic Clutch

As demonstrated by today's automatic dry clutch transmissions, on a theoretical basis the unit should lead to longer clutch life due to the calibrated throttle engagement equivalence relationship. However, somewhere in the documentation I recall seeing early clutch wear problems.

When the units were new they appeared to work as witnessed by Tom McCahill not ripping the unit. The linkage mechanisms seem subject to excessive slop, although the ones I dealt with did work well enough for demonstration purposes.
