| HELP!!! Clutch Slip
It's an old problem, but this time there's a new twist...
I have a 998S with a Ducati Performance Bucci Slipper Clutch.
When I accelerate from 4,000ish revs the revs rise, but there's no increase in speed, then it grabs, then slips, then grabs and so on...
This points to knackered plates (even though they were only 600 miles old) so they were changed - with a set of SP/SPS plates that have 8 friction plates rather than 7 - hoping this would make the difference...
75 miles later and the slip is back!!!
- I've checked that the fluid level isn't too high or too low.
- I've checked that the clutch lever screw that activates on the master cylinder is letting the m/c all the way out.
- I've whipped off the slave cylinder and push-rod and there is no movement in the clutch to indicate that it's more fully engaged with these removed.
HELP!!! I'm fast running out of ideas other than "Are the springs not up to the job?". The whole clutch assembly is less than 800 miles old, but as it's an alloy clutch are the springs weaker, therefore can this clutch not handle the output from my 136bhp Testastretta engine???
Can some smart types help me out with any suggestions please?
Cheers
