What Causes Clutch to Drag.

[carmine]

Pertaining to the senario that Jerry Clayton has described.
Have you done a test on the disc to see if the center is bent which would cause the dics to wobble when spun true from the imput shaft area.

Yep, the disc is ok.

According to the installer.............................

It was the F---ing pilot bushing.

Replaced it, put it all back together with the same parts (that was a big gamble) and they say it drives like new.

I pick it up today. Will let you know if that did it!

Hope this helps any others who experience abnormal grinding in reverse.

What about the bushing?? Worn, too small, not in deep enough???

Is it truely a bushing, or a needle bearing type?

Nothing visible on the bushing. But defective somehow.

Just drove the car 60 miles. All is ok for now.
