Both my son's Mini Max and my MAX have older style clutches.

My son has blown up two drums this year. Cracked the drum and broken several springs.

Anything we can do to prevent this BESIDES UPGRADING TO NEW STYLE?

Sorry... You're asking for a fix that doesn't exist, and validating why the new clutch exists. Before long, you'll have spent as much by putting a band-aid on arterial bleed as you will to just replace them.

Joe, the new metal clutch and gears are really so much better and worth the upgrade
