papa_smurf49319 Posted September 1, 2011 Report Share Posted September 1, 2011 Long story short, ive been having problems keeping the clutch from slipping on pavement (mods are in sig). I installed a fast heavy duty clutch with 6 of jeffs heavy duty springs. Clutch still slips, i have a pancake bearing and magnum billet basket. I recentlty installed a noss head and knocked my compression down to 130psi (because kept popping head gaskets). When i was riding the trails hard for a day, the shee wanted to run 215-220 F(according to my mr gasket cap) Granted it was a 90 degree day. So i purchased a bigger aluminum rad off ebay in hopes of cooling her down. I also have a prodesign billet impeller. I know this is a bunch of questions but How hot do your guys shees normally run, and whats safe? Anybody wanna take a shot at the clutch slipping issue, i am going to silver lake this sunday and know i will be hooking good with my 9 paddle extremes, so i dont want the clutch slipping, pancake bearing adjusment walkthrough may be needed here, been awhile since i dinked with the shee. Also i noticed when i was pulling my old rad, that i have two smaller "puke hoses" right down front on the clutch side a arm, is there suppose to be two or just one there?

locogato11283 Posted September 2, 2011 Report Share Posted September 2, 2011 Is your clutch adjusted properly? You really don't have enough motor to have the clutch slipping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
papa_smurf49319 Posted September 3, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2011 okay i adjusted clutch just like it says in clymers, aligned the mark on case to clutch arm. Going to try it out tommorow and see, now which side of the pointer would i wanna be on (stator side, or clutch side) if i wanted to be safe that the pressure plate is 100% all spring tension on the clutches? Also how hot your guys shees running? Oh and forgot to mention in other post running type f atf. Thanks Cody Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
papa_smurf49319 Posted September 4, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2011 wow, no reply lol. Well the clutch is adjusted properly and doesnt slip anymore!!!!. My thermo cap reads about 20 degrees higher than my girlfreinds when both are cold, so maybe i have a problem there. Ill have to stick in a cup of hot water with a temp gauge and see how they compare. But would like to know what others are seeing for temps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
