like my title says i got my jato back together, and the engine runs great, but now, the car will only hardly move and when i give it 60% throttle it just doesn't more, I'm thinking slipper gear needs to be tightened but i was wondering what you guys think...could be wrong.:\


edit, just tightened the slipper clutch and ran it down the road about 3 times, it ate my spur gear... Too tightened?

More than likely bad mesh. Too tight would have a higher likelihood of shearing an axle. Too loose causing excess heat build up would melt and warp it if you didn't catch it right away.
 
so i prolly didn't match up the lining of the clutch and the spur gear... alright. i guess i'll try and line er up better next time :) thanks man.
