my plot of the effort reduction linkage "0-0" is at that point where pressing the clutch is locked (and could go either pushing in or pulling out). the mark at MC stroke of 0.25" would the the "start" of the MC when I match the angles of your linkage.

the red line is the curve of the effective lever ratio between pedal and MC of the effort reduction and green is the line if "C" of 2.6" is connected to the MC pushrod directly. the straight connection stroke is actually a curve, just not that obvious on the scale shown.

this implies that the effort reduction does reduce original effort about 70%
