Supercharger clutch slipping... replacement advise pls
Guys,
For a long time my car has been down on power, the dealer told all was well in my engine, but I knew otherwise... I ended up selling the car, anyway, my indie mechanic (who bought my car) recently did a thorough inspection and testing, and he tells me my SC Clutch is slipping, it doesn't engage properly and said something like it spins out of sync with the pulley... does that make sense?
I know Shardul is working on a clutchless pulley system, but that is in beta testing, I know Weistec's M113k SC has no clutch, but I am not replacing the whole SC.
- Is the only reasonable solution other than to replace the pulley, clutch and belt?, are there any aftermarket options, believe me, I've googled a ton and nothing.
Please, links, part numbers, practical solutions are all welcome.
