Default RE: Shovelhead Clutch Killing me!!

Another helpful fix besides the Tamer is to install a 5 stud clutch hub and do away with the 3 stud unit. It allows the clutch to be pulled equally because the 5 studs are equally spaced.

If you are mechanically inclined, you can buy new studs and redo yours into a 5 stud hub. I've done several over the years and it isn't too hard. But can be frustrating if you are NOT mechanically inclined. It requires drilling, or grinding out the old studs and peening new ones in. The trick is to keep them straight.

I agree with the 5 stud idea, I did it on mine and it works a treat. Easy enough to do. Also, the Tamer is a 'must have'. Again, I made my own but a shop bought one is just as good.
