Just pulled my transmission, had a South Bend Clutch SS-Series with TZ-Kevlar clutch kit, put ~22k miles on it and it was slipping within 5k miles. I kept running it cause it drove fine in most conditions except for when I tried reving past 3500rpm. It used to only slip when I would do a pull in 5th at like 50-60mph (but if i downshifted first it'd be fine), then it started slipping when I would do any kind of pull past about 3000 rpm
What could cause these heat marks on the pp and flywheel surface and the worn down ring around the disk?
The flywheel was an oem one that was resurfaced to spec (.608-.610) by a reputable machine shop and everything was installed by an ASE certified mechanic. I'm fairly sure the clutch was adjusted properly just like the video that Jack's Transmissions made.
while cleaning out the bell housing I found a small rock like 1/8'' diameter stuck in a corner in a ball of grease, could that have been an issue? The pivot ball and clutch fork were reused but they didn't seem to be overly worn down.
I did find a little bit of oil in the bell housing and I don't know where it's coming from. I think the oil pan gasket is seeping a little bit b/c I used gray rtv instead of black, but I don't think it got into the bell housing. The rear main behind the flywheel looks dry, but I haven't taken the flywheel off yet. Not sure about the x-fer case input seal, can't tell if it's leaking or not...
Anyway, I need some help guys. Tell me what you think. Thanks
