Kennedy clutch in a '71 bus

Post by owendub »

Hi,

I've just installed a new engine in my '71 bus, and have installed a stage 2 kennedy clutch. I can't remember if I should be running with the pad on the fingers of the clutch or not. I had the same clutch set-up but with a different friction plate on my 2.5L monster motor, with the pad installed, and the clutch always seemed to be hard work. I have a 091 box with 020 bell housing. Question is, what SHOULD I be running - pad or no pad?!

you mean the little ring in the center of the pressure plate? no ring.
give a man a watch and he'll allways know what time it is. give him two and he can never be sure again.

Things are rarely just crazy enough to work, but they're frequently just crazy enough to fail hilariously.
