Don't take me wrong he was a really nice guy and I enjoyed talking on the phone with him. The only reason that I was saying contact the manufacturer directly is because I've had people get upset before about not responding to PM's right away so I'm just assuming that others see several of us (manufacturers/importers) on here and might also think that this forum is a good/easy way to talk to companies. As it really works out though depending on our work loads we might not be on here for a couple of days lol and when you get 10-20 PM's a day you can imagine how quickly they stack up!

Regarding the issue it was simply not shimmed properly as with the Pro Clutch the pressure plate moves forward slightly when the shoes engage. The clutch bell was just not shimmed forward enough which caused the pressure plate to rub on the bell heating it up and basically cooking the spring. We did not specifically address the shimming in our instructions so I can see how some one that is not familiar with how these centrifical centax style clutches work might get it wrong. In any case I'm sending him a new pressure plate and spring so he'll be good to go with basically a fresh set-up in a few days when he gets it in.
