The Bobcat/Pinto had some stupid engineering.
The clutch involved a steel piston operating in an aluminum cylinder.
You can see the flaw. The piston carved the cylinder right out. Idiots.
That’s right up there with the original Chevy Vega, with the aluminum block and no cylinder liners.
It wasn’t a bad looking car, the ugliness was hidden under the hood.
I never quite got the mechanical engineers on the slave clutch cylinders of the 60’s and 70’s? The linkage to the throw out bearing was so random, one could spend every weekend trying to stop the chatter. It varied with fluid types, outside air temp, vibration, seal ring wear, etc...
