Well if you beat on it, 5yrs sounds like a good life span. Just replace it with another

I forgot a small detail! I don't use the car much. It has 40,000 miles and i barely ran 5,000 miles with that clutch so i am a bit surprise the clutch burn out so quickly! Now i am in a hurry to get a new clutch! The owner of the shop seems to want to get rid of my car as soon as possible lol.

I have a brand new Specialty Z 6 puck clutch kit in the garage. I have no idea what I would need to do to ship it to Puerto Rico.

Lol! You and me both! I was using the Max Street clutch. If i were to go with the same clutch i think that 6 puck clutch kit is what i would need.

Yeah i am gonna try to contact Joe tomorrow and see what he recommend. I know he is the best at this clutch thing. I need to make sure the tilton racing slave cylinder i have been using without issue for a few years is compatible with the south bend clutches.
