What do you guys recommend for getting this Picco 26 to hook up? Mine is slipping pretty bad. I upgraded to the 3-shoe SS flywheel and clutch (new) and it still slips when i get in it.

Thanks in advance...
 
Okay, I'll answer my own question.

1. Tighten the spur slipper clutch all the way.
2. Install the SS 3-shoe clutch/flywheel combo.

Let her rip!
 
Sorry about that. Sometimes, a thread squeaks by un-noticed.

Did you get your problem sorted out? If so, great.

If not, you can help the clutch by scuff sanding the contact surfaces of the clutch shoes lightly. Roughen them up just a bit. Also, make certain that the inside of the clutch bell is clean of any oil or grease.

Tightening down the spur gear in the fashion you mentioned will help the engine engage the drive train a little more quickly, but it will also remove the spur gear as a shock absorber for the drive train. Be careful when locking down the spur gear.

Other than that, the rest is in your driving technique. If you drop the hammer immediately on the engine, then you might spin it up quicker than the tranny can handle.

Have fun, and as you stated...let her rip.
 
Fironi Turbo Clutch is awesome. Exspensive though
Mugen 3-shoe set up.
Nova 3 Clutch Shoes (Now were talking) These babies hit hard.
