Hi All,
The clutch on my "D" twin grips like mad, separates instantly, and is bone dry.
The problem i have is a god awfull rattle when in neutral at tickover.
Pulling the clutch lever back and letting in "flick out" (presumeably taking up any play in one direction momentarily) alleviates the noise for a few seconds but then it starts again.
I´m using one of russels new primary plates (metal plate with bonden in linings) and this fits very snugly in the drum (also new)
On stripping down for the umpteenth time, the only cause i can find is clearance between the centralising plungers and their respective pins with the shoes mounted on the carrier, and the clutch nut in place. this allows a rotational movement (backwards or forwards) of the clutch centre before the plungers come into contact with their pins.
Should this be so, or should both plungers have contact with their pins in a stationary clutch, so effectively making the whole setup free of "unsprung" rotational motion?
Thanks.
