For the Vanagon why would the clutch system need a pressure control? The
load is fixed. If something causes the system to be over pressurized the
problem is mechanical and the works need to come out to fix it anyway.

        Totally agree ~ I'd actually like to think that a ClutchSlave should
be good

for @Least a Couple of ClutchLifes ~ I really believe that the Issue with
this C'S'

is that they get OverVolumed or OverPressured by the Vanagon
ClutchHydraulics ~

I've often wondered if possibly the other cars that use them might have a
Pressure

Regulator or ReliefValve in their Systems ~
