This manufacturer is where many of the original conversion clutches came from. They will make a clutch that "Vill nott schipp".
Get a spring center, copper pucks, and a racing type pressure plate. Bill D. On 9/21/2013 8:39 PM, Michael A. Radtke wrote:
Hello, I finally got my Open Revolt controller installed in my Jet ElectraVan. I am now reminded of an old problem: a slipping clutch. I'm not sure whether it's worse because the car sat for so long or whether the new controller is more aggressive. But, it must be solved before I start driving the car again. This is a common problem with this car since the original gas engine was tiny and the conversion re-used the existing clutch. Years ago, I asked a local clutch shop whether stickier clutch material could be used, but they said that only solution was stronger springs. I wasn't anxious to increase the spring load because the clutch feels right, and stronger springs would give issues with clutch cable wear. So, I ignored the problem. None of the drivers of my van use the clutch for starting, just for shifting. So, I would be happy with a nearly binary action. Any suggestions? Thanks, Mike -- Phoenix _______________________________________________ UNSUBSCRIBE: http://www.evdl.org/help/index.html#usub http://lists.evdl.org/listinfo.cgi/ev-evdl.org For EV drag racing discussion, please use NEDRA (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/NEDRA)
