There are pedals that just operate a hydraulic cylinder, the only change to the vehicle would then be to create a small hole to run a hydraulic line to the bell housing where you mount the slave cylinder. -Original Message- From: EV [mailto:ev-boun...@lists.evdl.org] On Behalf Of John Luss

0-60 mph: 1.9 seconds ... great! how much will it cost in euros? I think about 135,000 EUR = 166009.60 USD US Dollar by rate 1.23 I hope to afford such a car in 2020, because this is the future. -- Sent from: http://electric-vehicle-discussion-list.4135

I did notice the "or". And I follow your logic. The servo should work ok but my intuition says otherwise. No experience to back that up, though :) Peri -- Original Message -- From: "John Lussmyer" To: "Electric Vehicle Discussion List" ; "Peri Hartman" Cc: Sent: 24-Feb-18 5:07:50 P

My Electric F-150 has a clutch, but no clutch pedal. So I can't actually disengage the clutch. I can shift from 3rd to 4th just using the syncrhos, takes 5-10 seconds. This hasn't been a major problem, but there are times when I would like to shift down, and that can be difficult and slow. Do
