Mip clutch Review
MIP CLUTCH REVIEW
I had the chance to review the mip clutch set up for the savage.
INTALLATION Very simple, the only thing I had to do was change the flywheel to a 2 pin one. This clutch uses a 2 pin flywheel, witch Mega sent me b/c I and most people w/ a savage use a 3 pin design, and I didn't have one. So I changed the flywheel and that's it. and slid the clutch on the pins.. REALLY easy to set up.
The clutch bell went on nice and I was ready to roll..... I thought anyway .
Testing .. After I fired the engine(surefire .32) I had to adjust the idle, it was revving really high. But the clutch wasn't engadging . I Bliped the throttle and the truck started to move forward(this was at half throttle and the truck would harldy move) SO I though maybe it was my slipper clutch was loose NOPE . The clutch was slipping REALLY bad and, the rpm's were really high like 3/4 throttle before I could get any speed from My savage. I then started some full throttle runs trying to get some speed but, The clutch was slipping so badly that it wouldn't shift. I thought it was my tuning so I leaned out the engine some more and then some more. I leaned the surefire so much it was stalling so I knew it wasn't my tuning that was causing the tranny not to shift. So I thought maybe its my tranny. I then pulled the tranny and installed my 2 speed. NOPE same thing wouldn't shift for nothing.
I ran 4 tanks trying to adjust the tranny and trying to break in this clutch, It slipped so badly it was like I didn't even have a clutch on there. I was afarid I was going to damage my engine. My rpm's were so high (it was running 305* ) and it was only 65* out today.
ONE LAST SHOT
There is a adjustment on the clutch. I pulled the engine and move the clutch to a different position on the flywheel. (see pic) there is 2 holes on the clutch you just move the clutch on the other pin.
So put the engine back in hoping this will help. and....... NOTHING it didn't help at all, I couldn't tell the difference. The engine would rev really really really high and wouldn't pull the truck at all. And still no tranny shift.
IN CALUTION..
IMO. Don't waste your time with this clutch, yes it was very easy to install. But not worth the effort you put into it. And the damage you might cause to your engine.
So I installed my nova clutch back in and had to readjust my tranny shif points and retune, and adjust my idle.
and MY savage was once again. Pulling hard and SHIFTING !!!!
If you have any ?'s or comments PLEASE feel free and ask,
THANKS FOR YOUR TIME !!!!
