fidanza 4.3 clutch and steel flywheel.
If your clutch is slipping replace it as soon as you can people....
Is there some truth behind this?
I'd like to know if running down your clutch down to the point of slippage will cause this type of failure.
Yes, it's warn out and would be wear on the rivets that hold the clutch material to the disc itself. If you grind the rivet heads off then you can guess what'll happen.
You hit the nail on the head. This is exactly what happened. If anyone was wondering, I needed a new clutch. I did not know until the day I saw the clutch, it was pretty worn out.
