Not surprising considering how many sets of clutch bearings I destroyed last year.Bummer none the less. Oh well not an expensive fix and I will be starting the season with an almost new engine again.Not to mention a lighter car.Hoping the new Ascendancy racing 4 shoe clutch should balance out the wear on both bells and bearings too this year.
Hey Gary
have you checked the alignment angle from Bell to Spur? If its not 90 deg you will kill bearings .. Also do you oil the bearings regularly ? a little spray on the bearing every 20 mins should reduce any wear in the clutch bearing
