My 88 pantera has a 96 440l\c And she snaps fast but maxes out at 72 mph And thats at about 7000. What I am wondering is what to do with the clutches where should I start tinkering the primary has a red spring on it and I cant tell the color of the secondary. Any help would be great.......

have the clutches ever been rebuilt? probably the first thing i would do. rpms sound pretty low as well.

My brother had something like that happen on his 96 ZR580. Turned out his secondary wasn't opening. You should be able to tell by looking at the secondary, you will see if the belt has been moving in the clutch, there will probably be a worn spot on the side of the clutch. His ran great after it was fixed. Good luck, hope it gets fixed

Take a crayon or something that wears off easy and draw a line on each clutch top to bottom.Take it for a run WFO see how far crayon is wore off.Then you will know if your clutches are fully engaging.

That's cause the dealer put it together wrong.... so they said
