Hi
Wish I knew exactly what happen.... It launched fine the first run got my best on DR's !! Anyway... I've had clutch trouble for a couple years... At the track, it seemed that after it got hot it would slip... Go home and it worked fine ( I drive it hard) go to the track it would make a couple runs and then start slipping or not shifting..
I think I have an incompatibility with the flywheel and the clutch plate ?? Don't know if that is possible but .... Guess one could expand or something...

Eh, those pistons are only mildy scratched. Nothing a little JB Weld and a dremel couldn't fix.

Probably just a cheap clutch that got too sticky when it got hot. What brand was it?
