[QUOTE="cobrajeff96, post: 1576496, member: 29141"] Probably what happened is you wore quite a bit of clutch material away during all the hooning. Now usually as the clutch wears over time and mileage, the PP fingers actually expand outward. Those of us with hydraulic TOBs actually have to account for this when we do initial setup and leave 1/8" air gap to account for the wear over time. In your case, the TOB should have "constant contact" with a slight amount of preload actually. If anything, there is now slightly more preload as the PP fingers [I]should have [/I] expanded somewhat. Either there is too much or too little preload...... [I]or [/I]it could be that the TOB just can't handle the smoke and it's on its way out. The OEM units and their aftermarket copies are really not meant for long-term competitive abuse. [/QUOTE]
