Clutch Blew in my Clubbie S
So after 108K miles the clutch blew in the Clubbie a week ago. I have had it for about 7K of those miles (bought at 101K). Been sitting at Dad's house since. It had that Chewbacca noise, even when I bought it but didn't realize what it was until it started getting much much worse and I researched it. Before it would only do it every once in a while, thought maybe it was brakes draggin a bit. Around 107k the clutch started to slip very slightly. I babied it as much as I could but clutch slippage just got worse and worse. It was the only vehicle I had at the time. Now I am daily-ing my bagged 68 C10 until I can get some advice or ideas on what to do.
So with that, I most likely will need a new flywheel. Would you guys recommend I go with the OEM dual-mass or go with a solid? If so where would I get a solid flywheel?
As far as clutch disc goes, is this a good time to upgrade to a beefier clutch disc? Once this is fixed I do plan on a bigger intercooler and some other tweaks for a bit more power, maybe some stickier tires than the stock run-flats.
Any and all recommendations you guys have on parts would be helpful. Shops in NC area if you know of any would help too.
Thanks.
