Which company? He’s had 2 to 3 different ones. Having two or three disks from different manufactures failing the same way makes me think it’s probably something else causing the problem.

Ah I see, that is possible since manufactures build for many companies. I’d still be tempted to replace the whole thing, even flywheel. Good luck Bobbah

the flywheel has new plates so it's pratically new and I'm getting a new preasure plate so.....

If you know anyone good at welding it would be worth getting a bead welded between the hub and friction plate if they could do it without distorting the metal?.

I'm pretty sure it would warp. I would think it would change the temper of the metal also.


Bobby, I know somebody mentioned it already in this thread but make sure to use a jack or hoist (or both) to put the trans in so you don’t risk bending the disk. Knowing you, you might be putting the trans in by hand you big sexy beast. http://forums.usms.org/images/smilie...eighlifter.gif

I am :p

It's interesting to see that pretty much all the solid hubs throughout every manufacturer seem to be identical... Wondering if the rivets might be too then.
I've had some fun with SPEC clutches that did the same thing.

I had it tested and the rivets should be good for appox 600ft/tq. we suspect that the holes for the rivets were to big allowing them to slip back and forth eventually ovaling the holes like in my pic and breaking.
