The flywheel has been resurfaced each time, there has been plenty of meat on the disk left each time. Rarely beat on the car, but ONCE in awhile do I dump the clutch at a stop light and spin the tires...yea sure, but I drive it real easy almost all the time. The input shaft is fine, no oil on the disk, BUT that does not explain a brand new disk and PP slipping right out of the gate. I checked the fork underneath the car and it has a small bit of play in it and so does the pedal, so still back at square one. Going to put it on the lift this weekend.
The guy that does it for me ( I do not install clutches) has been doing it for over 50 years and I have seen alot of his work with others and they are all very pleased with him ( he is baffled also). I grasping at straws here, but the only thing I have not replaced is the flywheel. I purchased it form Brewers ( it was an original flywheel ...reconditioned by them). All of the other parts, Z-bar, fork was purchased from them new. I'm going to check to see if everything lines up. Just feels like the clutch is not fully engaging but yet have free play. It has been suggested that there was 2 different lengths of throw-out bearings back then ( a long one and a shorter one), but I can not find that there was anything like that. Hope to put it on the lift this weekend and look at it. Also the adjustment on the rod is all the way out. 23 spline 143 tooth flywheel
