I'll agree that Karack is the heat as well!!!! The absolute best prices and best customer service around!! And best of all is the quality of his work.

Try Rick's Rotary in Pleasanton...I'm not sure how the stock 2nd gen clutch feels... I know the later 1st gen clutches went to a soft feel, so the 2nd might be the same. :-/ You can always go with an aftermarket clutch with a stiffer pressure plate...

P.S. my clutch, slave and master are all new and feel a bit on the soft side as well, but if you have a lot of miles on the clutch and the motor is out you might as well change it to
best of luck

see, i thought about the free play, i am by no means a novice with cars, just new to the innards of a rotary, i was manily doing pre 80'2 datun,toyota.. and pre 66 VW..... the free play is fine.. and bleeding helped little if not at all.....i will figure it out eventually just wasnt sure how soft it should be...... feels softer than my 2002 corolla..... seems odd ofr a car this old ( 87)
