Hi all,
Been a long time since I posted, been having a blast with the ADU converted AAN in the 91CQ....until yesterday.
I've put @ 14k miles on the new engine over the past 24 months with no gremlins to speak of. The clutchnet clutch had been holding up as had been the original 5 spd tranny and pressure plate. Can't remember now if we used the CQ PP or the one from the AAN. Yesterday on the way to the Kart track the clutch/pressure plate/throwout bearing let go while on the freeway. I couldn't find any gears and had to coast to a stop just shy of an offramp. Forced the car into second re-started while 2nd gear was engaged and was able to get up the ramp and to a nearby gas station. I think tranny and clutch must be fine, but pressure plate and throwout bearing broke apart. We'll see..it's being taken apart this afternoon.
Any recommendations for tried and tested pressure plates @ 380hp?? I did feel this one slip in just the right weather conditions at maximum boost a few tiimes in the past, but yesterday it let go completely without a sound, without warning.
Thanks for any help,
Chris
