Greg,

I remember reading your previous posting on the 190's clutch slipping.

I think what you are trying to determine is whether by using the car for "after maybe 1 hour driving in heat" that the clutch is in fact slipping, slightly.

What is the free play on the clutch pedal/linkage when cold verses after one hour of driving?

I also have the Haynes manual with its sections on the clutch. It is multi-paged, but I will try and see if there are any specific clutch related descriptions that could match what your are experiencing.
