Andrew,

What clutch/TO bearing combo you running? I had a Centerforce II with a Howe setup that would blow only when I was really putting it to it. The weights on the clutch would flex the fingers out and the zero clearance TO bearing would get so much force on it the o-rings would blow.

I have that QM TO assembly from the LS6 I got from you laying around if any of those parts will work. Just let me know.

brian,

Hey Brian,



I am using a stock LS7 clutch and the Quarter Master street TOB. Little different than your Tri-Lite, but I really appreciate the offer. It is definitely possible that it blew because of "spirited" driving. It happened on the 1-2 shift. I pushed hard on the pedal and got nothing.

Howe has redesigned their bearing so I am hopeful that it is more durable. John Parsons is using a Howe bearing and as far as I know he is not having issues. Then again he does not drag race.

Maybe I should go with an external slave and fork....:/
