[QUOTE="John Appleton, post: 25965, member: 760"] Howard, I had a mutiplate clutch which was found to need oil to stop "grab" and "screeching" (you can get arrested for causing that to happen). Fortunately I decided to just add oil to the clutch housing, rather than drill holes all over the place. I say fortunately as it proved to be a very fine line between slip and grab, and I completely cured my clutch problems when I decided that most of my woes were self inflicted and refitted the standard clutch and one of the five ear steel primary plates. My advice would be to try an egg-cup full of oil to see if you are happy with the results. A smear of the dreaded silicone sealer on the cover works a treat, and you are in a position to go back to the start if you are not satisfied. John. [/QUOTE]
