[QUOTE="teunvandriel, post: 175003, member: 587"] In the last few years, I dismantled the clutch maybe 10 times to degrease it, tried again and again with different types of sealant on the splines of the shoe carrier. Now tackling the ailment a bit bigger. Replaced all the seals, the 25-year-old PD25 and PD26 were both hard as stone. The original fragile C18/1 I replaced several times for a new one I never had much faith in. Friend Vincent Brake hopefully had a good idea for a better sealing of the shoe carrier, he made a bronze ring in it where the C20 presses against it. Meanwhile, I had also ordered a C18/1 and 2 from Maughan and although I didn't use it, this simple 2-piece ring (a 1/8" O ring) and an aluminium inner ring (see photo) looks a bit more reliable than the original C18/1 with the C18/2 modification. Furthermore, I smeared the threads of the C18 screws with Loctite 542, the heads of these screws with UNI Gasket, the splines of the C3 with UNI Gasket as well as the front of the C20, and smeared the threads of the C20 with Wellseal. Haven't driven hundreds of miles with it yet but the result is very satisfactory so far. It pulls the stones out of the street. But the future will tell.
