Title: clutch slip
Post by: rollinghelmet on May 12, 2015, 02:55:06 AM
About 6 months ago I did the Barnett Coil Spring Conversion its been great, but I am starting to feel a little bit of slip when dropping the clutch higher in rev range

Should I get the stronger springs or different arrangement of clutch plates

Once your clutch is slipping it will only get worse. Get a fresh set of fibers. Inspect your steels, slipping will cause extra heat and may warp one or more of the steel plates. look for color, high heat will discolor them. Hard to notice on a worn clutch pack, but will cause a sticking/dragging clutch when fresh fibers are installed.

Check your pushrod , sometimes the end breaks off and causes problems. Slight binding and a release problem.
