I find that the mugen clutch shoes does not last very long. Does any other brand fit?

And to directly answer your question, other brands likely won't fit as the clutch is quite unique, but A-Plus or someone like that make a 5 clutch kit I think, though I read elsewhere the brand quality is crap.

I ran two races and 2 practice sessions , and I always reset my clutch before each outing. The X-ray surely lasted longer. I was hoping that some other high quality clutch shoe would fit. Im not interested in using and aftermarket clutch set like a-plus. I'm not knocking it cause I've never tried it but the mugen clutch is fine, just wanted other shoe options

I use the yellow normal clutch not the dynamic, could be the reason.
maybe they (xray that is) fit the mugen

I have also the same prob with the clutch. After a 5-10min session I have more endplay in my clutch.

Your right, the xray standard clutch does last a long time. You could run it for a complete summer. Then again the mugen clutch shoe is almost 1/3 the price of an xray shoe.

Ill try the xray high dynamic clutch shoe as soon as i get my hand on one. And what screws are you guys using to close up the diff with.

Diff screws
The trick here is not to over tighten them!!
If you do you will distort the diff end cap and they will leak like crazy.
The last diffs I built, i also add a smear of gasket sealer too.
These diffs have not leaked.

Thrust Bearing end stopper

Is your thrust bearing end stopper concentric ?
Not sure if you are running the t2002 kit. In The older kit this part was faulty.
But I would check all new ones too.
It can be hard to pick up in some it was only a small amount but it will make shoes wear quick.

I read about the bearing holder being drilled off center, and i checked for that . I didn't see a problem, plus i only stripped 1 gear, on my initial runs, but its been great since then. I will double check since you mentioned it. I think the xray one is the same size. Thanks again.
