[QUOTE="Vic Youel, post: 11878, member: 87"] [b]Comet Clutch and Burman Gearbox[/b] Well I finally fitted my Honda clutch from Conways. The splines took a little fettling to get a fit and initially all was ok although I too do not like the aluminium retaing nut. I also had to remove the gearbox to repair the adjuster bolts and threads. First signs are really good so the old clutch and spares is now on Ebay. I went on a local run today and suddenly in top gear I got this horrible screaching noise. I glided to a halt with the clutch in. I no longer have a top gear.....but 1st 2nd and 3rd are fine. Clutch has also got really sticky even though I used SAE5 fork oil in the chaincase. I wonder what is wrong with my loss of top gear? Oh well I must pluck up the enthusiasm to remove the whole primary and gearbox yet again......grrrr.... So I think I will go back and properly road test my twin clutch after further treatment in the Old Windsor clutch clinic for the early part of the week. Good job I have a Triumph and a Matchless to provide reliable motorcycling! Wish I had not said that :confused::confused::confused::confused: Vic [/QUOTE]
