Clutch Question

[tbd]

ok i installed my dirt digger clutch and used a inches lb torque wrench set at 85 or 7 ft/lbs of torque and snapped one... now is there a different spec for the heavy duty springs or should i get better bolts? thanx for any help

I belive it's 7 ft.lbs for the pressure plate,I just snugged them all up with a small rachet and torqued them dowm.Your bolts should be fine...

I just installed my shift star and torqued the pressure plate down with no problems with the same ft pounds..I'd try another torque wrench..

Been there, duned that. Except I was a jackass & didn't tighten down the adjustment doohickie on the torque wrench, so she ended up getting about close to 20lbs...moral of story, don't work on the shee while highly intoxicated.

You need an in/lb torque wrench for that. Don't go taking your 1/2" drive, 20-250 ft/lb torque wrench and clicking it down and thinking it will work. it doesn't. Use the proper tools. I just use my mind for the clutch bolts. Feel it out. It's not too hard.....

don't work on the shee while highly intoxicated. yep have the beers after your done wrenching...!!!takes me 2 hours to put tools away!!!!LOL
