I'm struggling with my first build and am having a time with the clutch on my 5/8 shaft HS. After the first couple of miles I found that the clutch would no longer release at idle. Today I finally took it apart and found that two of the three clutch bolts that hold the shoes had ripped out of the center hub and were rubbing against the clutch drum so of course it wouldn't release. Now does anyone have any idea what could have caused this? The threads were actually pulled off of the shoulder bolts. I've been reading everything I can about these transmissions and have never heard of anything like this happening. Any ideas?
Thanks!
Thanks!
