This is probably a really dumb question as I am no mechanic but I was working on my 66 VW Bus clutch line today and it begged the question. Why does a simple lever work on a VW Bus/Bug but not on a Delorean? Why couldn't the clutch on these cars be designed to simply move a cable to open and close the clutch pin?
The Delorean clutch mech is so clumsy and complicated (and stiff). Would one of you mechanical experts school me on why a simple cable wouldn't work on these cars but it does on a VW Bus?
