ok im offically dumb and dont know what to do. when i was at lh the guy helped me get the stuff i need to install into my revo. he gave me a sportwerks flywheel nut and told me to cut it in half where it 'cones' so i did that and installed the flywheel. now to the clutch shoes. he told me to cut the shoes so they would fit. it seems if i cut them there would be nothing left to them.... and then when i put my clutchbell on it doesnt totally cover the clutch shoes. they stick out alot. any help would be sweet. thanks

Sounds like you need to return the flywheel, come to my house and we put on a good 1/8 clutch setup that needs no modding to get to work. Oh and couldn't you have just used all the stock stuff on it like the clutch nut?

it wasnt a flywheel, just the nut. im using the stock flywheel, clutch and clutchbell.

Ohh.. Sorry read it kinda quick lol. Won't the stock nut fit on there?

Hey, what about instead of cutting the shoes, grinding the clutch nut down? Or would that mabye throw things off balance...Hmm IDK just ideas.

destroy_my_revo_15 · (#7 (**permalink**))

the stock nut is too big... i have a few spare clutches that i forgot about and i am trying some stuff with them... it also appears that im going to need to move the tranny forward a bit for clearance... the only thing that has gone right is the throttle linkage...

Shouldn't be too hard to move the tranny. Just enlongate the holes equally and hack out some of the area in front of the tranny.

yea the drill went dead i shouldnt have to hack theres plenty of room

Ponch · (#10 (**permalink**))

And the dremel is dead too?

Hey I'm going to call your house phone, pick it up!!!

destroy_my_revo_15 · (#11 (**permalink**))

naw im just using the drill... it may take longer but it will be much cleaner in the end.

destroy_my_revo_15 · (#13 (**permalink**))

Czech-it-Out Graphics · (#14 (**permalink**))

destroy_my_revo_15 · (#15 (**permalink**))
