the secondary would work but the primary is a different taper the 800 uses a 32mm taper the 900 a 30mm

i think the only people that had a clutch fall off, the PTO end of the crank came with it..

did you torque your clutch to 96ft lbs...and check it 2 or 3x after the crank was heat soaked...

send your primary in to get balanced when you get one...

I would check the crank runout before spending much money.

yeah i had the same thing happen last year. It just broke the bolt so i had to take a puller and cut it down so it would thread far enough in to pull the clutch out. then got a left had drill bit and easy out, after 2hours got the bolt out of the crank. bought a new bolt and put it back in and torqued to right specs, then checked it again after about 6 miles.

was told by dealer that some of the factory bolts were bad and had this happen. i now replace my bolt every year. $16 is worth not messing with this and spending $30 clutch pull, $5 on misc other (taps, easyouts, etc) and no down time.. luckily it never messed any of my clutches up as i was only going about 10mph when it happened.

When you put it back together you might want to put some ARP Molylube or something on the threads. A lot of the force used to torque bolts goes to fighting the friction created by the threads. When you use an assembling lube, that force goes towards tightening the bolt instead.

I don't think that I would do that. That friction is the same thing that prevents the bolt from coming loose in the first place.

It's used in engine building for the connecting rod bolts, main cap bolts, head bolts... those are things you don't want coming loose. When you torque down a bolt, the threads pull the bolt shaft and causes it to stretch. The bolt tries to contract which puts pressure on whatever it is holding down. That's why some hardware shouldn't be re-used (OEM 4g63t head bolts for example) and companies like ARP prefer that you measure the amount of bolt stretch opposed to giving you a torque rating.
