Quote: One trick for removing over center spring is to pry individual coils apart a little and stick fender washers or sheet metal in to expand and hold coils apart. I am looking forward to trying my Spec clutches too, prolly later in summer...
I pulled my Over center spring out at the Track one day after the clutch pedal stuck to the floor on a pass when shifting to 4th. - Took me about ~2 min with a pry bar from the trunk.Lou Greg |

Mine came today, it looks great! Now I wonder what the stage 2A clutch was like?  Can't wait to get this installed, this will be much better with less slip than the organic clutch. I'm wondering if I need to think about some new clutch bolts since all the sets I have are 30 years old+....  -D.Idiot |

Quote: Did you have any problems with adjusting the clutch?
Long term usage report. I installed the SD282-2 and have over the 1 1/2" of free play in the linkage. The adjuster link is to short. I am using '64 clutch linkage. The clutch now has around 20,000 miles and about 30 passes down the strip and it is starting to slip. Most noticeable in 4th gear. I can haze the clutch rather easily. Maybe finally getting the carburetor right has pushed the power over the clutches rating. Not sure, I don't have the time to pull it and check on the lining. |

That is disappointing. I guess I have $600 of new junk on the shelf (2 kits). I'll be trying the kevlar/ceramic one in the '64 Dart this year. Lou |

Finally got around to checking the clutch and found that it was out of adjustment. The throwout bearing was riding on the pressure plate. Everything is working fine for now. |
