Rear main puking, clutch slipping, brand new clutch

That doesn?t sound like fun. I?ll have to go back, and look over the shop invoices. I suppose I won?t know much until I get in there. I just hope it goes smoothly. At the end of the day it?s all just nuts, bolts, and money, right?

if someone uses the old mechanic trick to pack the pilot bearing with grease and try and pound it out it will push out a crank oil galley plug


you would notice the loss of oil pressure. Look over the clutch disk and if it's hot and glazed don't use it.


I have good pressure plate disk if you need it.


I upgraded to a new stage II I'm dying to try out.
