Transmission Rebuild

I had to tear down the transmission around 6-7K miles due to a hard engagement/false between 2-3 mostly, but sometimes 1-3.

Removing the slipper, and check tolerances

The SUTER slipper has very precise tolerances. A measurement needs to be taken that establishes the distance from the screw to the diaphgram that moves in/out based on back-torque. This is generally held to a few hundreths of an inch. It will move when the clutch pack wears. When I first installed it, it took a very long time to grasp the theory of operation. It’s been about 100 race miles, so it’s about time to see how it held up. Suter clutch Suter clutch

All is well , and it hadn’t moved by more than 3 thou.
