Need Clutch Guru Help !

Hey Guys, Thanks for all the replies. Called Zoom today, sent pictures of the Zoom set up. Tech guy tells me Kevlar disc is fine but P.Plate is bad. Advised me to call American Powertrain to get a better P.plate?? (Nothing like a Zoom guy sending business down the road!) Appartently he knows at this point his P.Plate is inferior. So I call and E-mail pics to Amer. Powertrain. Tech guy tells me the kevlar clutch is glazed and ruined but the P.Plate is fine! Think I need another opinion at this point!

SO I call Brewers Performance here in Ohio. If you've been to the Mopar Nationals you've probably ran across Wayne and his crew, great bunch of guys. Send pics to Wayne. First question he asks about the Centerforce, was the over center spring removed. When I got the car it was not, but I removed it within a couple days of getting the car. He tells me the clutch was probably ruined before I got the spring removed. Looks at the Zoom setup and states Kevlar disc is also glazed and ruined because the Zoom pressure plate is not strong enough or has enough pressure to properly handle the Kevlar disc. So I purchased the McLeod Clutch, P-Plate & T.O. bearing from him. It has the Organic/Ceramic coating and Wayne states he has sold many of these and has never had a problem. So, at this point, I will check the pivot arm and ball inside the bell housing since all the other Z-bar components were replaced, turn the flywheel once again, and hope for the best!

I had already read the article and I have the proper long Z-bar. No oil on the clutch, new pilot bearing in the crank, everything looks straight.
