Default Re: What am I in for? (Muti disc Clutch Woes)

I wouldn't necessarily write off this flywheel yet. If you follow with the Des Moines rebuilder, you could ask them about "spacing" the disks to have them hit other than the low spots. Or adding a "spacer" disk before the first active disk.

The problem with the low spots is they collect dust, which goes on to freeze the disks in place. The usual is that the "innermost disk" freezes in, then one by one those in front of it get locked one after another.

If you can "start" the active disk stack a little "out" (or in) of the flywheel, each disk beyond hits the high spot beyond instead of the valley.

Just a suggestion - and I bet the rebuilder will know exactly what you're trying to do if you talk to them.
