OP
Body Damage is Cool
|
Well I burnt up the clutch in my raider, so I've been driving the car instead. But I'm tired of driving this thing so I'm going to replace the clutch next summer when I get home from school.
So do I put a heavier duty clutch in it and hope the km145 doesn't explode, or put in an oem clutch and keep it the weakest link?
I'm worried if I put a centerforce(or similar) that the transmission might fail not long after. Before the clutch began to slip I didn't have any problems with it.

I used a no-name clutch set from the local pop shop, mom no longer worked there. I've put around 80 thousand miles on it and had no troubles. Everything from water trailers, 33" tires, camper trailers, and another Raider were towed.

or put in an oem clutch and keep it the weakest link? In my (limited) experience, there's nothing particularly "weak" about the genuine OEM clutch. Mine is currently closing in on 200K of not-particularly-gentle driving.
