Onkel Sow, it looks like your clutch is slipping excessively. I once set my clutch that way and after one session of playing an hour or so, I could see that the clutch shoes wear a lot. When I set it correctly, my clutch shoes still remain the same (no excessive wear) except some glazing on the shoe surface.
Perhaps you like it that way because of the driving style but I guess that's the downside. Some people let it engage aggressively and like them that way. Maybe harder to drive even. If you set it to engage correct, you will not have the clutch wear out.
Well, its difficult to describe how I like to set my clutch. Maybe when Mark is here he can see how I set it.
As for dimensions, it is usually 0.5mm gap with maybe 0.1mm end play. The spring maybe set to between 0.5-1mm from the end of the retaining nut.
Feels good, quick and I'd be surprised if its slipping. The driving style ... well, I'm an analogue racer so yes, there are times I'm only applying half throttle.
In the end though I can't accept that clutch shoes do not wear. This system is friction based so ....
