Just installed this clutch 2 months ago. Its my third one, when shifting quick it starts to slip and i have to let out of the throttle. Its the Con fe 550 Hp. my clutch pedal seems really light. everything shifts fine just not holding as well as my other ones. I did have the flywheel resurfaced this time by NAPA I dont know if that could be affecting this? Any suggestions would be great!!!

 

Have you talked to Peter at SBC?

 

hydraulics?

 

new hydraulics..and im calling tomorrow

 

If the hyd.are not releasing all the way,causing the T.O. bearing to put pressure on the clutch fingers. if not Id say bad clutch.

 

Maybe the flywheel was ground too deep while resurfacing, so you have less clamping with the clutch engaged. The light pedal would suggest that.

its a flat flywheel grinding would make no diff.

 

I saw a lot of flywheels that were "resurfaced" only on the part where the clutch applies- and therefore increasing the distance between pressure plate and flywheel surface.
You are correct, it should not matter if it was done properly.

I agree and have seen the same thing.

 

Yea it was resurfaced all the way around. i have been thinking when i installed i greased the input shaft pretty good maybe some of that grease got flung up into the clutch while shifting. I do have to say that the clutch has a lot softer pedal than any of my other clutches identical before this....
