new clutch slips :(
Guys,
I just installed a brandnew kevlar clutch in my 4runner. The clutch is from southbend clutch and sports a 1600 lbs pressure plate. Now that the clutch is in the first thing i notice is the clutch pedal is soft as butter. pressing it in feels as light as the gas pedal. the truck rols but the clutch slips at any serious rpm. I wonder what the problem can be? I had the flywheel ground. Could it be too thin so that the clutch doesnt engage? but still .. why is the pedal so soft? Is there any spec about how thick the flywheel has to be before it doesnt work anymore (the 4runner wheel has a bump for the clutch disc and the outside is recessed).. Advice appreciated Matt (xpost) |

Another alley to check will be the bolts that secure the pressure
plate. If they are shouldered bolts, in some cases refacing the flywheel will shorten the recesses that the shoulders go into enough so that the shoulders bottom out in the holes before actually tightening the plate down, resulting in your situation, a slipping clutch. The cure is to put in new, non shouldered bolts. |

to all: thanks for the replys and help!
I took the clutch out and it looks like the disk is too thick by about 1 mm... the manufacturer is takeing it back for examination ... I picked up an Aisin disc to run the truck in the meantime... Matt |
