Re: More Chevelle updates
The 2 companies I have had the best luck with when it comes to performance clutches.. Hope you get it straightened out. It sucks to have setbacks.. I know I have had a few over the years. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/beers.gif[/img]

Re: More Chevelle updates
Sorry to hear you're still having problems Eric. I'm sure you'll get this taken care of soon.
On a side note.....I run a Hays Street/Strip clutch and have had zero issues. I know that I don't have the torque you have but my clutch never slips. It is a little heavy on the foot compared to stock but it doesn't matter if I'm at the track or clutching in and out while mashing the gas pedal at 10 mph.....it just hooks. Good luck, Kurt

Thanks guys. I have several calls out right now and another going out in an hour or so. Hopefully I can have the appropriate parts on the way in shortly.

Re: More Chevelle updates
Sorry, I was in a bit of a rush when I posted earlier.
Turns out the new disc that the tech @ RAM said was compatible with my existing Powergrip cover is actually just a stock replacement disc. It's nowhere near stout enough for this power level. This time the tech gave me the part # for the disc that's used in the Powergrip <span style="text-decoration: underline">HD</span> set, and I have it on the way in tomorrow. Fingers crossed.....

Re: More Chevelle updates
Here's the original 10 spline disc that was installed when I first built the car. Note the even wear pattern across both friction surfaces.
Flywheel side:  Pressure plate side:  Here's the new disc I just took out, the one that slipped like hell. Notice anything..."unusual" about it? Flywheel side:  Pressure plate side:  Bear in mind that the original clutch had less than 75 miles on it and never once slipped. The flywheel and pressure plate both look good, no unusual wear. There is a slight heat spot on the flywheel now that wasn't there before, but I don't think it warrants resurfacing. Waiting to hear back from Jody for his opinion before I button this back up again. I'm <span style="font-weight: bold"><span style="font-style: italic"><span style="text-decoration: underline">reaaaalllly</span></span></span> getting tired of looking at the underside of this car.
