[QUOTE="MG0h3, post: 16699840, member: 164690"] Well first you need to make sure the cable is adjusted properly. The TOB should be lightly touching the PP at all times so that it is always spinning the same RPM as the engine. Too loose/a gap and you are taking a TOB at zero RPM up to engine RPM instantly over and over. Too tight and of course you have heat and potential for slipping. I ran my RXT with the stock pivot ball for over 14k miles and 7yrs. 5k or so of which was on E85 and prob @700whp. Only slipped once the PP moved back enough to sandwich the bearing to the case. Clearancing the case/fork is the only fix for this and it’s more of an issue with the magnum. Sounds like you probably have some install/adj issues that are causing premature TOB failure. Could also be the cause of the slipping but without inspection that would be hard to determine. Very high engagement and slipping suggests that you’re possibly too tight and have way too much pressure on the plate with no foot pressure. I set mine with the car running and check it after oil changes. I ensure the TOB is spinning with no pedal pressure and that with one finger I can move the fork back far enough that the TOB stops spinning. Let go and it’s spinning again. Proof that leaving a gap is wrong is readily apparent as I get a puff of smoke, couple sparks, and a loud squeal when the TOB at zero rpm has to speed up to 800 rpm at idle.
