[Shotimes] RE: MTX Shifting Problem

[Mark Nunnally]

The first clutch in the 92 went 93k when I had it.  The next went about 85k.  The last I cheaped out and had a (good) used one from the old 91 and put that in, it flung a spring (a first for me) from the hub a few months before the convention.  Both failures were PP related (busted strap and worn fingers).  The discs weren't all that bad.  

It's got one of the old IRT units in there now with a ceramic TOB, so should be good for a while.  

A lot of good it's doing (sitting there) with a trashed motor :)

I think that I'm approaching 60-70K on mine. I might
be detecting some slip but from the looks of the oil
on my transmission, my rear main seal is leaking and
may be oiling the clutch.

I'm tempted to go outside this afternoon and start
pulling the engine. :)
