Yea… I started this project in 2001… 22 years ago! But I was determined not to be one of those guys who sit on a project for years and then just part them out without completing them ;)Yellow Durango actually came after I started this project 😂 I also owned a yellow VehiCross for a few years...
Using these numbers, I am getting the following overall ratiosDSM 8.16:1
TR7 w/.75 master. 4.95:1 <<< 😮
TR7 w/.625 master. 7.13:1No wonder I thought that current effort was ridiculous 😂5/8 master should be much softer, but still stiffer than DSM 🤷♂️
As I expected, DSM has much larger pedal ratio than TR7, 5.67:1 vs 4.25:1, which explains why clutch requires so much more effort.I was totally wrong about AWD DSM data (that is what I get for being lazy and getting numbers on line, instead of measuring them myself). Slave cylinder is .75”...
Thank you for the Y value!I stole that image off the net, it should be the way you measured it and not a vertical projection. But it is close enough to get the point across ;)Do you also happen to have the pedal around to get X value?
Paul, I have narrowed it down to the pedal ratio.I have Bill’s T5 bell housing with Supra slave cylinder (.81, same as DSM) and 3/4 Wilwood master cylinder (vs .81 on DSM).So I have some mechanical advantage and yet, my ACT 2600 feels much stiffer! That leaves pedal ratio ;)
My transmission/adaptor came from a local DSMer who was going to put 4G63 into oval track modified class tube chassis. As this often happens, he decided to abandon his project after it sat around for a few years. Sadly, I see RWD projects being part out before they are done all the time :( ...
