Hi
Early this month I got my AW11 to Ascari Circuit in Spain for the 2nd time to race the 24h with a new 6 speed gearbox and the car felt great.
We ran this setup for almost 4 hours at Braga Circuit one month before without issues, but this time we ended up with a broken clutch after 6-7 hours. We disassembled it and one of the clutch's spring retainer broke letting the spring out disabling the clutch. We changed it with a new one (clutch and pressure plate) and went back in the race. 6 hours later the car came to the pits with the same symptoms.
3212
We are yet to disassemble the gearbox but we suspect the problem will be the same.
Have you ever had or witenessed this problem?
