Clutch Issues - No Burnouts
I spoke to a number of people, some who were even intelligent, and here is what I came up with.
I have a 4 speed with a 383. The car will not do a burnout at all unless the pavement is wet. If I rev it up and pop the clutch the pedal will stick to the floor and the clutch will burn. I do not have any other issues with the clutch, the pedal, or the Hurst shifter.
The clip on the Z bar was not seating into the nylon bearing so the Z bar moved a little to the passenger side, I slid it back over and the pedal is back to being smooth. Its been a few months since I did that and it has not been an issue since.
There is a set of return springs on the fork, but nothing major and they shouldn't be anyway.
If it has a diaphragm clutch, then it will not work with the overspring and I need to take it out, then I can do burnouts 24/7.
If it has a Borg & Beck (3 prongs) then it needs the overspring or the pedal will go to the floor more often than not, and burnouts are out.
I checked, and its hard to see but it appears it is a Borg & Beck. I stuck my hand between the clutch and the tranny and I do not feel a diaphragm clutch.
So is that the end of it?
No burnouts ever?
I never really cared, but the other night a fellow Mopar guy was in disbelief that a big block 4 speed could not do a burnout, and honestly I'm not trying to do high speeds with the car so a burnout every once in a while wouldn't be so bad.
Am I off here somewhere?
