| Okay, I feel a little stupid
I have two clutch bells - my original one plus one a friend gave me after selling his Evo. Some time ago, I took the one I wasn't using and turned the old liner out and installed a new one, just as an exercise to see if I could do it sufficiently. I used an old clutch with one layer of electricians' tape around it as a spacer to install the new liner. It came out well and I put it aside. For some reason (I didn't think anything of it) I installed that clutch bell, with the new liner, when I put in the new clutch. So, I'm thinking that it just needs to get worn it a bit. Is it possible that I just got lucky?  Not... We'll find out this weekend, I hope. |
Everything else is the same. The liner is worn a bit, so I can't imagine that the new clutch would grab it at idle in its first spin. Are there any other reasons this would happen? Everything was spinning fine when installed. DTI'd the shaft and it's perfect. Engine runs very smoothly - I also just replaced the bearings and they're a dream. Any ideas? I guess I really have to drop the engine again, but I'm resisting a bit. Maybe the clutch just needs to be run in?
