Is the engine giving you RPM that isnt represented by MPH?

IOW, is the clutch slipping?

From what I understand that the springs have to be removed to measure them. Is it really that differcult to remove them?

Yes when I am travelling at about 100km/75mph and turn the throttle the clutch slips a little.

Is that due to a gearing change or did it have the wrong oil in it once?

I think if theres a way to avoid shimming or putting stronger springs in, its a good move. MY opinion.,

The guy I brought it from didnt have a clue. I would say its had the wrong oil in it. I have relaced the oil with one similar to the Diesel oil you guys use. It helped heaps and the slipping reduced.

I put some barnett heavy duty springs in mine, fixed right up.

others have added a thin washer under the spring.

thin, a thick one with bottom out the spring.

Of course, that was the '96.  the '88 has a kevlar clutch with stock springs, man that ain't slippin'.


What was the part number for those springs you used? I am on there site looking at spring conversions but not sure which ones.


Gonna have to find the package with the old ones, p/n wasn't on the invoice... flea bay find.
