Message	Clutches should be classified by torque-holding ablility. Then you could buy one based on your engine's maximum torque output. Engine and power-transmission guys are weird...always going around rating the wrong thing. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Let's make like a baby and Head Out" - Jimmy "If A equals success, then the formula is: A = X + Y + Z, X is work.
