clutch burning up????

[mr williams]

I run a small clutch with the 153 tooth fly wheel.It is a ram disk 10 1/2 and a ram pressure plate..I got all of it from speedway motors..I have burnt up two, any suggestions on what is going on.

are you loading it on the trailer? that'll cook a clutch fast!
also check your throw out bearing clearence? i cooked a 5.5 inch disk last year from improper clearence

Yea i been loading it by driving it up on the trailer... thanks for the info...

Also make sure if you are running a hydraulic release bearing, that the lines to it are not too close to the exhaust. It makes the fluid boil and will slowly release the clutch allowing it to slip

Shouldn't be from loading. Prob got the t.o bearing too tight . Been driving mine on the trailer for years on the same clutch. Unless u don't have 1st gear! Lol

depends on loading if you slip it or just drive it onto the trailer.

more then likely its the throwout bearing that has the wrong clearance
or the lines getting to hot and heating tho fluid
