3 weight clutch gimmick;
Spent last Saturday working on this clutch. Yellow shoe, NEW M.S.R. spring. If you look at the fly weight you will see to molded dots. The dot furthest away from the hole for the flywheel pin is the one that I drilled to 3mm to start.
Set the spring to .7mm. Ran the car/tightened the nut. When I saw yellow dust all over the radio try brace I stopped and drilled the weights in small increments and started the process over again. Ended up at 4mm holes with the spring at .8 . This clutch is money, SMOOOOTH!
