Because it is a friction bearing it does create some temperature but it works and works flawless. I have tried a softer brass but that can not withstand the presure the clutch creates. I still want to try ceramics but it is not easy to get a small piece of bar.
It's too much heat on the outer bearing I had it fail on me the outer bearing cause of the heat, buy a ceramic brake pad of a real car it's not thst expensive and u can make your own. Y can't u use just one brass piece as thick as all 3 washers?
