So take the chain off and spin the whole rear axle setup? And we want it tokeep spinning until it come to a nice gradual stop. I'll give it a try tomorrow and see how it goes. Thanks

She's a brand new clutch guys, brand new 60t on my axle and 10t on the clutch. When I saw the smoke I shut it down and the clutch was red hot. I Wonder if I've got some unnecessary load somewhere along the axle maybe. Or perhaps these clutches are garbage.... I'll get a weight on it tomorrow...
