retarded clutch bell bearing

[MasterTmaxx]

Hey guys TIA,

I wanted to know if anyone else had a problem with their GT eating up clutch bell bearings like candy. I went through two sets today alone and I wanted to know if you guys had any solution for this problem. I have been using the teflon flanged bearings @ $15 a set and I have gone through four sets thus far. Any help in regards to this matter would be appreciated. Also if anyone knows where I can get a set of Boca cermaic bearings for a good price let me know as I have heard this may be a good upgrade. In any event, thank you for your time in regards to this matter.

sounds to me you should be looking for whats tearing up the bearings????

1st check your clutch bell is it out of round?? this will eat bearings.
2nd if it not the clutch bell. then imo i would tear my mill down and inspect the main crank bearing....
something is causeing it to be out of balance...

oops how is your gear mesh?

I have never torn down a mill.

My car only runs on a race track during race day so the wear is pretty high. The course I race on has a lot of jumps (double, a couple triples, and one quad jump) and tons of hair pin turns so abuse level if high.
