Clutch "issues"
OK, I had my clutch upgraded to a Ram 900 series "street/strip" kit with sintered disk. I'm running a Mcleod hydraulic actuator and aluminum flywheel. I realize that a bit of "chatter" is unavoidable and I can live with that at least for now. But the overall action of the system seems to be a bit inconsistent. When everything is cold, it seems to be ok. But after a while, I experience a bit of coarsness when shifting (not real smooth) and reverse is difficult. I rerouted the hydraulic line away from the header and replaced the DOT 3 with DOT 5 (for the heck of it). I don't think there's any air in the line as I've bled it numerous times. I've adjusted it all over the map. I've accepted that I probably went a bit too far on the upgrade, but I'd like it to be useable for at least a few thousand miles. Any ideas?
