61 Series 2. Installed a new clutch and flywheel last summer. Worked great for about 350-400 miles.
Then a few weeks ago during my 3rd cruise this season, it suddenly started to lose power. Like a clutch slipping. Only made it a 1/4 mile down the street and turned around, barely had enough power to get up my driveway. Then I pulled it out a little later to diagnose and lost all power to the wheels. Wouldn't go anywhere. It's only got 35k on it, so I wouldn't think the gearbox would be bad so suddenly. It shifts perfectly, no problems going into or out of gear. Thought the clutch may been stuck engaged, but if I try to shift into gear when off the clutch pedal, it grinds as if the clutch is working fine. Push the clutch, goes into gear, let off the clutch, nothing but a very slight whirring from the gearbox area. I confirmed the driveshaft does turn when off the clutch, but not sure if it's turning when under load. Got it on jack stands and pulled the gearbox and clutch, everything looks to be OK there. Rebuilt the slave and master not too long ago, it seems to be working fine. When you manually turn the rear wheel, it turns the drives hast when in neutral, but not sure about under load. When I manually turn the gearbox it spins on both ends. Haven't opened the gearbox to look inside yet.
Any ideas what could be going on here? Maybe something wrong in the rear end?
Any ideas? Happy to provide more info if needed.
TIA
