Just looking for any ideas or if some one has seen this. I might swab the inner race of the clutch bell with just a little lock tight and then install the inner two bearings to try to keep them inside the clutch bell when the clutch ingages. This might attribute to stripped gears if the clutch bell is allowed to wobble.
, who make it ?

Actually, I think you mentioned something very interesting. I noticed the wobble from my clutch but I have not had any issues with stripping gears. However, to enough of a degree, the wobble could be the culprit of mysterious gear stripping affected some of us.
What I noticed is that if I shim the inside of the clutch bearings out enough to avoid clutch bell drag, the innermost clutch bearing may not be fully seated in the clutchbell.

The way i think it should work is the bearings should be captured inside the clutch bell with maybe a snap ring and the movement of the clutch should come from the inner race of the bearing moving on the engine crankshaft.
Not the clutch bell moving on the outer race of the bearings.
just my two cents

over drive?
What front pulley is the over drive pulley the 24t or 25t?
I thought that the standard 25t pulley is over drive allready?
does the 24 over drive it more.
Im tyring to work it out but my brain is not working right today.

Hi guys,
What's the general consensus in regards to the 4 mm chassis? I would prefer the chassis to be recessed to maintain the existing roll centres, so I guess that excludes all but the Mugen or Kawahara (please correct me if I am wrong). I know the Mugen chassis is not compatible with a monoblock engine mount, so I am currently considering the Kawahara. Has anyone had any positive experiences with a particular chassis?
Thanks in advance.

if you are on a small to med track with normal to low grip, maybe a 3mm chassis wil be better suited
