Topic: Lunchtime quickie.....clutch steels

[greenjeans]

After reading this post:  http://forums.sohc4.net/index.php?topic=29374.0

I decided to take out my clutch and double check the steels, friction discs etc.  Been having a little trouble finding neutral.   Also put some addtional holes in the basket for better oiling.

On the clutch steels...should the "cut/sharp" edge (the sharper edge vs the rounded/stamped edge) be facing
TOWARD the engine or AWAY from the engine ?

Thanks in advance.

Im just guessing but I dont think it matters as long as you have a steel then a plate then a steel etc

I don't think it matters as long as they all face in the same direction.

My understanding of this is as follows, when the plates are stamped out, they end up ever-so-slightly dished.  So, having them all pointing in the same direction gives you this:

instead of this:

)((())()

which makes things work ever-so-slightly better.

I know this is going to sound odd but what weight oil are you using? I finally fixed my clutch problem by switching to 30W oil.

You got a lunchtime quickie? Sheesh.

The "sharp" sides were originally facing the engine. But, like Magpie said, so long as they all go the same way, no matter.

You got a lunchtime quickie? Sheesh.

The few times I have had a lunchtime quickie, clutch plates would have been the last thing that crossed my mind.....

Still in the honeymood phase

Fresh oil & some extra holes in the basket seem to do the trick.  Thanks fellas
