hi everyone, ok so i just replaced the flywheel , clutch and clutch bell on my savage 3.5 stock. i also replaced the spur gear.

the savage was perfect before i replaced these parts!

now when i accellerate the engine reves and the flywheel spins very fast, but the spur gear doesnt move at all and the truck doesnt move at all aswell!

whats wrong! did i put the clutch in wrong?? i followed the guide on the hpi website! or did i put the clutch springs in wrong?

does the spur gear need tightenig?

does the engine have to be meshed properly?


ok so i tightened the spur and same problem, i also meshed it properly and same problem!

the clutch shoes are put in right as i followed the guide on the manual.

the gear box is fine as i opened it up to check it,

also when i bought my k4.6 engine, i started it up and it was revving full revvs and i put my foot infront of it to stop it from flying away, i kept my foot in front for around 2 minutes and this happened around 5 times i was holding the car at full revvs with my foot infront, do u think this could of damaged anything? if so please let me know what it may of damaged!

also when i pull the car backwards i can hear a screeching sound and it is abit hard to pull it backwards. !

whats wrong!! please help!

well first off welcome to the forum, secondly when you pull it backwards it shouldnt "screech" i would definately say somethings binding.. it should roll backwards pretty much as easily as forwards as far as i know,well hang tight my friend and someone will be able to help you shortly I'm sure so again WELCOME TO THE FORUM!!!

Are the clutch shoes in the right way round?

As you said you have said you have meshed it correctly, I'd imagine the clutch bell doesn't spin and the flywheel does?

Poss too stiff a clutch spring?

Take off the clutch bell and clean it, there shipped with oil on them to keep them from rusting. Clean it out and rough it up abit and you'll be fine.
