I was running a d3b for a friend and the left side started to disengage once in awhile. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. It seemed to get more frequent over a period of about 20 minutes. Any thoughts?

Thanks, Randy

Couple of possibilities...
Either the clutch pack is worn to the limits or
If they are dry clutches and are getting oil contamination causing them to slip.

Testimonials

"I also joined a year ago. had been on here a couple of times as a non-member and found the info very helpful so I got a one year subscription (not very expensive at all) to try it out. I really like all the resources on here so I just got a three year. I think its a very small price for what you can get out of this site."
