Hello everyone
I'm new, I have Thunder Tiger SSK and I have some problems with this car. It is all about clutch. When I have engine started clutch is engaged (i was trying to set lower speed od engine but i cant go lower). I thing spring which is holding clutch shoes on place is too soft. So can enybody tell me what i suppose to do??
I was thinking about cutting this spring a bit but I'm not quite sure is a good idea

Sounds like a clutch spring is broke . Cutting a spring will do you no good .

Hi Dawman
Spring is OK because Ihave checked it. I think spring may by to soft (clutch is engaged at engine low speed - i'm not able to make this speed lower). I'm asking about best solution for it
thanks

Well , I`d just change the springs. They may look ok until you put some pressure on them with a screw driver . I had never seen springs so soft that the clutch hangs up at idle. I just thought it possibly could be the clutch bearings . Does the clutch catch right when you start it or after it warms up in a minute or so ?
