[QUOTE="ClassicBiker, post: 29365, member: 1632"] The vincent clutch; an answer to a question no one asked. Sorry my jaded view of it after years (1978 to 2011) of patiently trying to get mine to work properly and reliably for a complete season, of asking anyone whose actually worked correctly for their tips and advice, of having the shoes professionally relined and purchasing countless numbers of discs for my Shadow (it ate them like they were candy) I called it a day. I made a multi plate clutch for half the price of purchasing one. Will I try again with the answer to the unasked question, probably but not anytime soon. If your original clutch works that's great stick with it. If you are able too or know someone who can get a dysfunctional clutch to behave, again go for it. I have a hard time believing any firm could have sold a bike for any amount of time with a clutch that would cause such trouble. It must have worked when new, so what has happened in the interim? I suspect a myriad of things contribute to it's bad reputation. Bottom line from me is if it works stick with it, if it doesn't try and fix it. If all attempts fail there is a reason there is the multi plate option, I think now some are beyond redemption. Good luck Steven [/QUOTE]
