I'm looking for opinions on my slipping clutch. I've put about 350 miles on my Pantera since its complete restoration. The flywheel and pressure plate looked fine with no scars or bluing. A new disc was purchased but upon examination it was determined the new disc was actually thinner than the old one by a couple of thousands of an inch and the old one was reinstalled. The only thing replaced internally was the throwout bearing with a constant contact one. On the outside all lines are new and the slave & master were replaced with stock units. Adjustments were made according to the many varied opinions about this (spring, no spring.adjustment bolt, no adjustment bolt) to no avail. I see no signs of oil in the bell housing. Presently I have it where there is about 3/16" before the throwout hits the pressure plate fingers. I have 2 theories: 1) at higher RPM's the cluthc fingers are hitting the throwout bearing causing it to release or 2) stovk engine with Australian 2V heads are too much power (no faith in that theory)How about a theory totally outside the bellhousing box: the limited slip diff is now a full slip diff!
