clutch bell

if the slipper loosens up, the pad glazes and the nut and spring lose tension causing the need for all parts to need replacing.....

I've got to ask...

What happens if you don't lock it down??

You'll see sluggish performance since the slipper would constantly "slip" too much. This was the case for me when I installed an aftermarket engine. The engine would push hard but the wheels wouldn't spin off.

its locked down . I cant run it without it . I'm running a modded 5.9 it makes to much torque

What is everyone calling "the slippery"? Are you referencing to the spur?

 

[Jam Racing 1]

glued behind the spur is a pad and pressure plate system which absorbs shocks to the drive system, it is adjusted by the nut and spring in the center of the spur gear, most run it locked down to prevent the spur and pad being damaged by excessive slipping...My manual has a complete breakdown of the system on page 37

So when you say run it locked down, you are referring to running the nut all the way down tight?

Correct!

Thanks, just a new guy trying to figure out all the tricks

Not so tight that you distort the spring. Just tight enough to fully compress the spring.

Locktite (blue) it also.

Got it...I was wondering cause I have it torn apart due to the CB gears stripped out due to the mount got loose and I lost some screws.
