Call Jarrod. You can send it back to them and they will fix it. I broke a spring and he shipped me a new clutch disk no questions asked.

I am talking to Jarrod now regarding my OZ700 Z grip tearing up after 900 street miles, two street tire passes and one drag radial pass. It took me four times to get through on the phone today. He is very busy but from all accounts is a fair person to deal with. I will update as we go.

250Racer,

I am having the same problem. Mine almost never has any pressure behind it and sometimes grinds between shifts because its not fully dis-engaging?

I thought it may have been a hydrolic problem that could be fixed with an adjustable master cylinder but it may be worth sending back to get looked at?

Have you dropped the inspection plate and checked the air gap when the clutch is disengaged ? Air gap should be .030 or so.

How's the pedal feel ?

No I havent checked the gap.

On my morning drives, the pedal is mushy but randomly, under various circumstances, Ill get in it throughout the day and the pedal feels strong and you can feel the clutch grabbing hard by the vibrating/pulsating coming from the clutch.

Its like and on/off switch here lately

Sounds like air in the slave, do you have a remote bleeder ? Or maybe a bad throw out bearing.

Yeah, I did bleed it good when I first put it back in after the motor install, but perhaps I should bleed it again.
