Message	It was designed to work with the puck clutch, I am unaware of any reasone to not do so. ----------------------------------- A man once asked me if I took certain things seriously. I guess I made it seem like I didn't, but I do. Now people tell me I take things too seriously, but they don't understand. They don't care either. I don't feel they respect or understand what I'm trying to achieve. Perhaps it is their own sense of failure that is trying to sustain and validate itself.
