Too much travel works the belville spring, and way too much can cause it to go overcenter. Changing a standard 0.068" steel for an 0.088" will put you where I like to be. And they do make .070somethings. The particular year factory manual I have says 0.025"-0.045" for 4 disc in the rear clutch. 1993 Daytona, 5.50 at 130mph (1/8) 1.19 sixty ft (PG).

I saved this info somebody posted years ago. I have one of those fat boys in my garage. I bought it new from the dealer in the fall of 2001 (2466811) There are 4 different thickness FLAT snap rings that can be used in the front & rear clutch drums. 0.060" P/N 1942063 0.074" P/N 1942064 0.088" P/N 1942065 0.106" P/N 2466811 For performance, should adjust clearance in the front clutch to 0.010" - 0.012" per friction disc. So, 4 clutches should have around 0.040" - 0.048". The rear clutch should be between 0.015" - 0.035 ------------------------------------------------- Here's the transtar numbers . 0.060" P/N 22601 chry # 1942063 0.074" P/N 22601A chry # 1942064 0.088" P/N 22601B chry# 1942065 0.106" P/N 22601C chry# 2466811 superceded to (??) 2766811 0.050" P/N 22601W ( waved???) chry# 3410570
