Clutch pedal "freeplay" is the result of yoke free travel.
Ok that makes sense Originally Posted by bob h

Any further clutch plate and disc wear beyond this point can hold the clutch partially released and can cause slipping/overheating. This does not happen with automotive clutches as they are push-type instead of pull-type.Clutch pedal "freeplay" is the result of yoke free travel.

A push type clutch will also begin to slip and self destruct if run "tight" with no free travel in the pedal.
The only difference is that with a push type automotive clutch you adjust the linkage to obtain free travel, instead of adjusting the clutch internally.
