Re: New Clutch -- direction


Jim,

I as able to correct my problems. Everything went together correctly
the second time. I did understand that was what the plate was supposed
to do and it did appear to me that there was no play left. What I mean
is the arms didn't have anywhere left to go the first time. The plate
should pull away from the clutch disc right? So if the clutch disc was
"too fat" then all the play would be taken up by the disc and the arms
would be useless. The arms do after all have a limited throw. All the
release spring would be used up. If you don't believe me try bolting
it down with the clutch disc backwards! The nose should easily take up
all the play as mentioned by another poster! I am still learning
though so sometimes you get "idiot fever" when you get upset and you
are not very knowledgable. It's a good bet that was my problem.

I may have been wrong but visually to me it appeared that the arms were
completely spent and yet the plate was not released. But the second
time I bolted it down it didn't do that (for some reason: aka I was
probably wrong the first time).

I don't know what happened the first time but there was a LOT of
resistance at the pedal, a terrible squeeking/groaning as I depressed
it, and the clutch would not release. Second time...all were normal.

I'm just glad I got it back together. Spent today bleeding brakes and
fixing lights. Almost ready to get back on the street after 10 years
of storage!

Thanks again,
