I've been plagued with clutch problems for the last few years. Every year (about 5000 miles) or so, my clutch disc fractures, one of the springs falls out, and jams between the clutch disc and pressure plate - clutch disc and pressure plate get toasted. So I replace everything and start the process over again. I have not been able to figure out what causes this to happen. So anyway, I cut a hole in my transmission this weekend so that I can see into the clutch area. Main thing I can do is monitor wear on the pressure plate fingers and check to see if everything seems normal related to the throwout bearing, arm, guide tube etc. Hole is about 1" x 1.5". Not a view most people see so I thought I'd post a pic.
I've never had the chance to machine magnesium before. It drills and cuts like butter! Demick '74 2.0 Attached image(s)
