Clutch Problem ??
After 8 flight's with the new engine , I now have some kind of clutch problem. The clutch won't engage anymore, it sliped in flight and i had to auto it so not to over tach the engine. 
I'm taking it apart now to see what's up.

Clutch Problem ??
I found the problem- this was care of "Mark Fadely"
if you have an older fury it could be the gold lower ring of the constant drive unit slipping. If there are set screws in the sides of that gold ring at the bottom of the split gear assy then you don't have a problem. If there are no set screws then chances are that's your problem. We've had several of the older ones come loose and that's why minair is putting set screws in them now. BTW, most of the clutches will be discolored like you mentioned and not likely that it is the clutch slipping.

I'm glad it's not my clutch. But how do i fix it now?

Send the auto unit to MA, they will take it apart and install a set screw on each side of the auto unit. They do this to hold the sleeve that is holding the spraque clutch. The units without the set screws are all going to slip eventually, that is why the set screws are used now.
