Hey has anyone ever had an engine collet break (the collet is the brass cone shaped thing behind your flywheel)? I've got an OS 30 on my BB TNX w/ 18 tooth pinion, 41 T spur combo. My clutch was constantly engaged evidenced by the wheels spinning upon trying to use the rotostart. I removed the engine and my flywheel is loose however the clutch nut is still tight, and I don't see the collet. The collet was definitely installed correctly when the flywheel/clutch assemby was assembled because I ran this same setup the last time out. Towards the end of the day last time out I did notice my wheels turning as I started the engine and I knew I had clutch issues but kept running. I just revved the engine and 'threw' the truck down as to not stop the wheels from spinning and flaming out the engine.
