Which clutch do you have? The all-cast one, or the stamped sheetmetal cover with 6 phillips screws?

If you have the older style clutch like this one, it could be a problem with your weights. Has the clutch ever worked for you?

To remove the clutch you'll need the removal tool, it's like $30-$40 but well worth it. I think I've used mine a dozen times already, maybe more. But I'd pop if off there and take it apart and see what you have. Post some pics.
