OK I've been sifting through hundreds of posts and I cant find the info i need so here goes. I'm trying to tally up the causes and makes/models that are a problem. It seems the puck style XTD/Centreforce cheap clutches are getting a bad rep. Having discussed clutches with a few local clutch specialists all have said:
Your flywheel NEEDS refacing with a new clutch if using a ceramic clutch.
Your flywheel NEEDS refacing with a normal clutch if its had a lot of miles as the step-height will be reduced.
You HAVE to get the friction surface AND bolt/dowel surface resurfaced by the same quantity or you will get slip almost from the get-go.
If youve had a failure please name and shame the clutch and be honest about whether you refaced/replaced the fly at the same time. If you had it resurfaced first are you sure the guy doing it did maintained the stock spec step height?
So the question is posed...
