As Tom says - it's starting to happen. Pull it apart now, and chances are you will just be able to replace the thrusts. Leave it be for a long time, and you'll be getting the crank re-ground. On 17th Nov, 2014 Tom Fenton said:

I agree 100% of above, if you leave it too long you will destroy your crank. On 15th May, 2009 TurboDave said:

this clutch Scenario! needs to looked at indepth & put to bed once & for all I've spent 20 hrs this week designing a clutch, and have come round in a full circle. Problem i'm having is that i'm trying to make it easilly manufacturable - ie laser / waterjet cut flywheel disc incoroporating the ring-gear; Verto centre for the flywheel, off-the shelf (tilton/quartermaster) cover - or at least diaphram spring, STOCK driven plate (most importantly), etc... I've got a solution, but it could weigh in at the same, if not slightly higher inertia than a steel ultra-light... But it would have a 260lb ft torque capacity - even when the driven plate is worn right down past the rivets (unlike the stock item) AND have a release load of only 80% that of an orange diaphram...

TBH Dave I would happily sacrifice a bit of light-ness (is that a word!?) for a reliable clutch that isn't going to constantly lunch the thrust washers......

indeeed! Well done dave, keep up the good work!I don't mind it being a bit on the heavy side. Could it not be made out of ally and then have a liner bolted in, or maybe sprayed on. On 15th May, 2009 TurboDave said:
