GST 3rd gear clutch mod
I'm trying to find the clutch mod where you drill a hole, put a screw in and cut it. Then you put teflon on the outside edges. If anyone know's about this anything would help. It's to help 3rd gear kick in.
Thanks.
Thanks.

RE: GST clutch mod
Hey poo, I remember that one. it was CEN's forum site. dont remember it being here. But it is actually known as the 3rd gear shift mod..
When I get back from our monthly Crawling clinic at the LHS this afternoon I will see if I can find it...
Edit Added: That mod was created by PPMan..

RE: GST clutch mod
Thanks, I'm going to try there now. I remember seeing it before I bought my GST. It was a slick mod I wanted to keep on hand, help out jamie and everyone else having problems.
Good luck, didn't come up on the search[:'(]

RE: GST clutch mod
I had a dog that was something like that, every time he smelled smoke he would have seizures.
I can't believe how many things have CEN in them. I google my yahoo untill I had hotbot all over the place and I couldn't find anything. Movie time, my brain needs some off time.

RE: GST clutch mod
I looked so hard I infected my computer[:'(], glad I have killer protection.
I remember most I think. The one thing hanging me up is what kind of screw was used, wood or metal, and I think the hole he drilled got filled with expoxy before the screw went in.
Maybe it's time for some ginkgo and coffee

I remember it, but not clearly. I'm sure it was a cut off piece of metal screws/bolts covered with expox to hold them in the shoes.

So it's...
Hole(don't know size)...
Expoxy screw in hole, let dry...
Cut screw flush...
Cover sides showing screw with teflon/resin and install...

RE: GST clutch mod
I remember the mod clearly. I could do it competely from memory.. but.... The sides were covered with flexibe carbon sheets epoxied on the shoe after running 2 screws in and cutting heads off flush. Simple mod really, the point is to add a touch of weight an the carbon mat is to keep shoe together at high speeds..

Or maybe Cen could come up with slightly heavier clutch shoes that we could install

RE: GST 3rd gear clutch mod
Yep was from the side, coming in from the side will also help the screws stay put and wont comprimise the integrity of the shoe..And keep more clutch surface in contact with the Bell!!
Speaking of Bells, The Bell Buddies will be ready tomorrow. Thinking of having them Hard Anodized too. What do ya think..

Sounds like a great idea, do we get colour choices too?
