TD42 manual: clutch problems associated with heat?!

Post by Gabriel »

Hi all,

I've put in my comp car the TD42 engine. I also replaced the clutch (entire kit fron Denco). I had a comp last week-end and I had problems with the clutch...I mean the clutch was not working, from tiem to time. If I changed the gears rapidly, the clutch didn't engage. If I changed gears more "softly", then waiting a litle bit and THEN accelerate, was fine. When the clutch didn't work at all, I tock down the pression from the clutch pump by unscruwing the pump aerator. Some guy told me that because the clutch tubes pass closed to the exhaust, maybe the liquid became too hot and thats why the clutch didn't worked well....

Any comments, please?!

Thanks, Gabriel
