I'm not sure why you're in such a bad mood over this, but none of your links contain the answer to the question I and others have about the design (unless I've missed it) and saying "do your research" is not particularly helpful. We're tying to understand. With the depth and breadth of expertise from various contributors on these boards, it's surely not too much to make the query, and hope that someone who has the answer will reply.
I'll no doubt regret this- but via private message I did get a link or two which may help re the clutch. without further comment

END of this part of clutch discussion here by myself - suggest those who insist on pursuing go to Tech Log
