Damn man. Were you having a vibration problem at 1800 - 2300 and then gone just due to the increased RPM? I put a kit in and am having the vib problem. I had it balanced yesterday and am waiting for the reinstall, but I won't be getting this back till tomorrow. The way mine was vibrating, seemed like it would cause a failure. I had both my clutch and flywheel balanced and was told that both were way out of neutral balnance. Just hoping neutral balance is correct as every vendor / manufactorer has said they were but the service manual is different.
That's an LS9 pressure plate that failed in 4th gear at 5500 rpm. It went 'bang' and I couldn't disengage the clutch anymore. I had to shift with the clutch the rest of the way home.
I didn't buy it from Katech. I Only bought the flywheel from them. I deal with Luke for all my stock GM parts. I'm sure there isn't going to be a problem getting the issue taken care of.
I am pretty sure it was a defective strap, although the other ones seem to have some discoloration from heat. At least after 3000 miles, the mating surfaces still look perfect.
Was it a finger or a strap that broke?
If a strap broke, then they must not be able to handle the torque.
With factory parts you almost never know if you got a bad manufactirung lot.
I was about to switch to this clutch, so I appreciate your post about what happened.
Thanks.
I better be careful or someone will put out a fatwa on me.
