There is no such thing as a self ajusting clutch, what they mean is you can
not ajust it. It wiill be ok untill it fails and then it is sudden and more
money. you have a master cylinder to fail and a slave cylinder to fail, both
reparable without removing any thing, and the usuall clutch that you have to
remove the tranny to repair. It is only two more things to go wrong, but you
have high tech to be proud of. and easy to fix.
