    Merry Christmas

    Merry Christmas to all and a very Happy New Year. My Mrs. Santa left me a set of Proline Big Joe’s on Tech 5’s under the tree. So it was a very good Christmas.

    Thanks @js1badsti Me too! Yes, I can move them out with my fingers and no broken springs. Bell is brand new and hasn't had a run through since it was installed. Since the new clutch shoes and springs will be here Friday, I'll find out soon enough if the clutch is the issue.

    Thanks @Zep71 The spur gear nut is tight. Will likely do what you did though and swap with a nylock nut.

    I took the engine out again to inspect the clutch shoes and here are some pics of what it looks like. Thoughts? Either way, I'm going to replace it with a Dynamite Max-Life 5180 clutch shoe set and Mugen 1.0 springs.

    Mugen Clutch Shoes & Springs

    Thanks for the info @Jam Racing 1 I went in to my LHS and he’s is sourcing them for me with springs. I’m curious to see what springs he comes back with. I know they have a .09 set of springs. I believe they have a 1.0 set also and your using 1.1 on your clutch shoes.
