Last winter the work on my sprint car included replacing the complete clutch
(7.5" cover and plate),  the flywheel for a steel lightened version, the
carbon 
release bearing for a roller release bearing, the clutch fork, pivot
bush and 
retaining bolt + nyloc and the spigot bearing.  During the year the
clutch fork 
retaining bolt came loose on three occasions, which is a pain as
its an engine 
out job to correct the problem or not as the case may be.  The
last time I 
replaced the bolt and nyloc for a new version and added loctite
to the nyloc for 
good measure - yet it still came loose!!

The clutch works
fine although there is a slight pulsing feeling on the pedal 
when the engine
is on and gearbox in neutral.

Has anyone else had this problem?

Paul
