    Clutch problems suck

    This is what the flywheel will look like, the clutch pictured is what I think we are getting. Motor builder is machining the flywheel and has a clutch package that he has used before. I’m going off of memory for the photo on clutch that I saw 9 months ago in a friends car

    Clutch problems suck

    I had a tilton in the early days, bad ass clutch but very on-off. Was hard to stage smoothly. Went away from it because the flywheel was too light and too thin for our application. We needed more rotating mass at the time. We were running a wedgemated flywheel at the time, now we run a flanged crank

    Aggravating or not?

    I hear you and both orange and blue suck at getting stock down, finding the item that they have 100 of but the box is empty. One time I was doing a bunch of pvc plumbing, going through the boxes looking for what I needed and they are full of all the wrong sizes and types. I decided it was in...

    Clutch problems suck

    Honestly not too bad, 9 out of 10 pieces only make it to the clutch and don’t hit the bell housing. But i’m always afraid of the one piece that leaves the party being its only a cast bell housing.

    Clutch problems suck

    Here’s how it actually goes, starts bending the fingers, as they bend it appears we lose equal load then they tear off. We have only ripped 3-4 off per floater, once these pieces come off they tend to get caught in the clutch not allowing release or engagement, also been caught in starter...

    Clutch problems suck

    Yea that is correct, motor builder says same thing. Never seen it before. I have two races on clutch and all tabs are bent already. My original thought was flywheel was machined incorrectly, third flywheel now it’s not the issue. I have probably ripped the ears off of 5-8 floaters over a 10 year...

    What is the scam? Phone call asking if Ben Brittain (Me) is available. Then immediate hang up.

    Clutch problems suck

    Always had issues with Kennedy double disc clutches. Tried different pressure plates and flywheels, tried making our own thicker floaters along with thinning the discs to keep stack height the same. Kennedy has checked everything years ago. We keep ripping the fingers off the floaters. Time to...

    As a parent do you ever lose the anxiety for your kids?

    It was minor stuff Minor In possession of alcohol, community service Off roading, this was honestly a fiasco. Had 3 police helicopters and at least 20 patrol cars from different cities along with a wack from a cop on side of head with a club when he came up behind me. No charges were ever...

    As a parent do you ever lose the anxiety for your kids?

    I don’t have any kids that I know of so never felt it, several step kids over the years, so I kind of get it. My parents didn’t have to deal with it, I was self sufficient by the time I was 18, I could fix, make decisions, and didn’t tell my parents what and where I went. They did have to get me...

    A question for SXS owners

    Normally my neighbors are up and down the street day and night during the cooler months but it suddenly stopped last year. Been super quiet. I just take mine out and let it idle for hours on end to make up for it now

    How long since your last ticket? how many times have you talked your way out of one?

    One day back in band camp I was going to work I got pulled over 3x on the way. All stops and tickets were within a 25 minute period. 1 was speeding, 1 was impeding traffic, 1 was too low. Another time I got pulled over and received a 3 page ticket, this ticket took well over an hour to write...

    How long since your last ticket? how many times have you talked your way out of one?

    Have had lots of tickets, got out of a few along the way. Haven’t had a ticket since 2010. I’m old, drive less, drive slower and have a Cdl, don’t need issues.
