After reading up on all the clutch experience posted here I decided to take the clutch apart on my 07 Mastiff to see why I’m dealing with the dragging at stop, slipping in 3rd, great when it’s cold but not when it’s hot issues. I found I have a 12-Disk clutch that at first look seemed pretty clean. Sticky clutch pack, mild wear on the outer hub-no deep grooves. Took apart everything and found the carrier bearing was clunky. It’s an open,double row, angular 3207J bearing made by INA. This is the same company that makes FAG Bearings-cheap. I know if this bearing is hanging up it could be causing the the dragging I’m feeling with the clutch pulled in. I ordered an SKF 3207 A/C3 bearing as a replacement. I also
contacted Bandit Machine Works since they have a replacement that some here seem to love. Their replacement is $599 or I could reuse my stock hub and spend $395 or just buy a new billet carrier for $140. I have other pieces that I would rather spend money on but I don’t want to keep dealing with clutch issues. Everything except that bearing looked good. I’m thinking about replacing the carrier bearing, hardened nut, cleaning everything up, and putting it back together. What do you guys think?
