More things I have figured out ,My chainline was off by less than 1/8th of an inch and it caused my hollow keychain to wear out . 100 dollars down the drain .But still zero problems with my v2 clutches ,And the play that was in my old one is gone after I put in the c clip.

20 years on the forums! Wow, I completely forgot about it to be honest. I wonder who is still around from 2002???

I still check in every few months or so.

Actually made it to a few drift events this year with the turbo Pinto. Had this car 11 and a half years now:


The AE86 was supposed to be my drift car but it decided to spin rod bearings on two 4AGEs last summer. Sitting in my garage with 2 grand worth of brand new upgraded suspension and no motor...


Oh well, at least it's basically rust free after I fixed the windshield frame and trunk seal area.

So if anyone cares for an update ,My first clutch hub the problems I had were because they didnt put the c clip in the hub from the factory and there was something wonky happening because of that .I got both the Madera and the bsd and didnt like either one .So back on my clutch v2 and have 2 wheels I spent wayyyyy too much money on that I need to get rid of .

That C-clip was an important part to keep the hub together without putting side load on the driver bearing, which wouldn't work now that it's a needle bearing - and was the main cause of old style coasters blowing up.

According to FB memories I laced my Clutch v2 up 4 years ago last week. Got a very tiny bit of side to side play, and that's it. Still working perfectly, all I've done was open it up to regrease it over 2 years ago cause it started sticking a tiny bit when I would stop pedaling.  Absolutely insane that I've had the same coaster hold up for a single year, let alone 4. I used to break the old ones at least once every couple months if I didn't periodically rebuild them...

Business is still good?

Some volatility here and there but otherwise good.  Keeping me busy so I can't complain.
