Default Re: my new clutch slips!

"Hoop", I do remember that when I measured the height of the fingers from the surface of the flywheel on the new clutch in my car, it varied by as much as .060" (that may not sound like much, but it's damn near 1/16"). I spent a bunch of time shimming the fingers so they all came out within .007 of each other. Granted, that was on my '51, but it's about the same as the earlier cars, except for the size of the hub on the pressure plate.

I gotta believe it's something like that.
