I lost another clutch disk in my 51 ffPW yesterday. Just headed out to the store and was shifting from 3rd to 4th and nothing but some grinding when I hit the gas.

It had less than 1000 miles on it. It appears that the center hub separated from the disk. I heard the spings fall down into the pan below the clutch. The previous one failed the same way. These were rebuilt units as I could not find new. It seems that the metal is getting old and failing. I will know more when I tear it apart.

Now to find a good clutch disk. I wonder if I can convert to an 11" clutch as they are more available but I am not sure I want to to tear things apart to replace the flywheel.
