I occasionally help out with this 914 racecar that's putting out 400+ horsepower, normally aspirated. Either the motor or the driver has found a way to blow apart just about everything involved with putting that power to the wheels. Recently the car has been having clutch problems. Factory race clutch packages which supposedly handle 500 horsepower aren't cutting it.
The car was at Fontana this weekend. I was about to go up to join the race crew when I learned that the car broke...again...so I stayed behind and helped when the car came back. Here's what awaited us as we began to investigate. Hmm, clutch is stuck in a state of engagement. Spline area of the clutch disk sits askew. And what's that copper stuff trying to poke out of the clutch package at the lower left? Attached image(s) |
