Tim, re Fort Wayne Clutch, I appreciate the suggestion. Being up here in Canada, customs and the border can complicate business dealings which is why I went to a local clutch and brake place here to have the disc re-sintered. I was able to drop it off and pick it back up once finished, and I think the whole process was about $120 USD. which is about half of a new disc from one of our suppliers, plus freight, plus shipping the core back. If it turns out it is the disc, I will just order one off the shelf from Kanters and be done with it. I do want to follow up on the snubber issue first though, as, like I said in my previous post, I didn't even know what that contraption WAS!! I looked it over and tried to visualize it's function; couldn't, and just put it back in the same way it came out, other that when I had it apart the ball and socket DID come apart and I was suspicious that, whatever it's function was, it definitely seemed to be in somewhat compromised condition. Now I learn what it's for and, go figure, I have the condition it's supposed to prevent!!! The learning never stops!!! Chris
