Chattering 2 Disk-Help?
Guys I have a 2 disk Top Dog clutch with roller levers that is chattering really bad on lock up. I am not bashing the clutch manufacturer, I'd just like some help figuring this thing out. We have run numerous 2 disk clutches over the years but this is my first roller lever clutch.
Set up for Junior 2 with bolts in both holes in each lever
6 race nights on clutch
Air gap at 32
Clutch is disassembled after each night and cleaned.
Doing the normal acetone clean and very light coat of grease on flat bearing and roller bearing in driver.
Engagement is set at 3400 on a purple plate clone.
Disks measure .124
Last week I took the clutch apart and verified that everything was flat and true by lapping everything on a granite plate with 100 grit paper. All parts were very flat and true. I increased the air gap to 37 and set the engagement to 3500 rpm hoping that would help. The clutch was slightly better Saturday night but still chattered for 5 or 6 seconds before getting fully engaged.
No I have not contacted the manufacturer and this is not intended to be a bash on them. Just wondering if I am doing something wrong.
Any ideas?
