Default Clutch help
I restored my 1973 XLCH. I replaced clutch springs, plates, etc. The response just isn't there. I want something that grabs faster, harder. Responds better. ( only way to explain it).
Does anyone have any advice on a particular type or brand of clutch you've had or have that gave you a little more response?
Thanks.

i hang around and read alot of the posts,and some people here see a big difference
in the primary oil they use, it might be something to try.
