I talked to another guy, Chad, at SPEC about what I should do, and he told me to take pictures of the clutch surfaces and measure the disc. So I did that, and sent 'em today. He replied instantly saying it looks like I over greased the input shaft (that's what she said). And based on the thickness of the disc, it's basically still brand new. Interestingly, he also said it looks like it wasn't even fully broken in.

I said, well what about my plans for more power? He said the clutches aren't rated at the ragged edge, and when there isn't any sign of grease causing it to slip, then maybe think about upgrading the PP. I told him the 470wtq number and he's like, oh yeah, that's 540 at the crank and the clutch is rated for 525. But he said it should be fine if I clean it up and throw it back together.

He said I need to be more aggressive with it. More clutch drops I guess.

We'll see I guess. I don't really want to take the tranny out again, but I will if I have to I suppose. Hope he's right.
