Exactly. For everyone's benefit, I've been slow-walking this to determine whether the disagreement was in semantics, or understanding.


Also, as the clutch wears, the slave piston becomes further compressed. Without the equalization, the clutch [operating mechanism] would eventually tighten and [the clutch would] begin to slip. I learned this the hard way 30 years ago with my 240Z. The clutch didn't wear as much as the system actually pumped up when it got hot.
