weak clutch

[MichaelMD]

2 Days ago the "feel" of engaging the clutch of my '97 V8 has gotten pretty weak. The clutch engages the gear with minimal release of my foot compared to engaging at the half way mark when lifting my foot. Not sure if there is some sort of adjustment that can be made in order to bring back the strength of the pedal feel, but hopefully it doesn't mean it's time for a new clutch. Any input would be greatly appreciated.

The only way to know for sure is to have it checked out, but you are describing mine exactly when it was about 40%...

Thanks, I'm having the car checked out Mon or Tues.

By the way... I watched your video of you and your wife going to the Orlando car show. You two shot real good footage of some absolutely fantastic cars. I need to get more involved in events like that.
Thanks again,
Mike

Thanks Mike...

FYI we have another show coming up at the end of May outside of the area where all the Celebs have their home in Orlando - no telling who we might see

Where do I find the date for the show and do I need to buy tickets?

[ErnestM]

Hey Mike...

The show is going to be at the Sanctuary at Lake Butler Sound May 31, 2003. This is a show put on by TSCEVENTS www.tscevents.com to benefit the "Give Kids The World" Charity. You can get tickets from www.ticketweb.com or contact Greg Foxx at 1-866-609-7779 ( 35.00 each ).

Thes are the same great folks that put on our other events. This show is by invitation only, but they usually make exceptions for us Lotus folk due to the limited number of cars. If you (or any other Central Florida afficianados - are you listening Jim?) are interested in showing, please call Bob Tallghren at 1-352-383-1181 (Bob is the "T" in TSC Events).

Hope to see as many people as possible there. Hopefully we will not have to run for cover (to get out of the hail) this year

Ernie, are you going to meet with us at Les' house that morning?

Also, you really should try to go to Atlanta with us on the 16th as well. Many Esprit guys will be there and you know Tammy wants you to go with us. You really need a trip to Mecca.

KFM :-)

Sounds good to me...

Hmmmmm, me and the Lotus gang loose in Atlanta with no chaperone... Sounds good - unfortunately I have a huge business deal that is taking precedence until the middle of June and that week is when all of the IT integration testing starts (payment transactions are such a PIA)...
