"I've been thinking about this overnite and it seems to me that an extra 16 ci is not going to able to make even a 9" clutch slip under all but the most extreme circumstances. Are you sure everything is releasing properly? I'd check everything out to make sure there is no binding or hanging up before I did anything else. (Unless, of course, you have upgraded the powerplant shown a significant amount.)"

Tubman, just had an almost exact case here. Period correct rod with hot flathead. Rebuilt 9" pressure plate from on-line (not Ft Wayne.)

2 PP levers severely binding ... one not releasing at all. You'd think a lot of chatter, but not really. Slipped under power in 3rd.

Fix: Polish and lube levers. Problem gone.

Can only guess that PP was rebuilt and sat on the shelve at the rebuilders. It did not sit here.
