New Parts Installed
I completed the detent spring replacement and other upgraded parts and thought I’d post the results.
This , hopefully will bring some questions and answers in the event others with minimal experience like myself would like to tackle this job if it happens to them.
One thing of interest was when I went to tighten up the 22mm nut for the inner clutch basket I noticed the collar on the new nut (which is hit with a punch to lock it in place) was overhanging the input shaft by about 1/32 inch. I hadn’t noticed this when I removed the original nut although I did see that it was very close to the end of the input shaft. Normally this would not be an issue but the spring washer on the lifter piece is supposed to rest against the flat surface of the input shaft…now, the collar of the new nut is overhanging the input shaft. The collar has a fairly sharp edge and I believe the spring washer will be damaged as the clutch is engaged and disengaged. Further inspection showed that the new 22mm nut had a longer collar. (see photos). To make this work as intended I removed the new nut and ground enough of the collar to match the size of the original.
The upgraded lifter shaft shank, although the same length, is also a little different than original. I found that when I used the thrust washer and spring from original I had no” in and out” play when the lifter piece is placed in the input shaft and pressure plate torqued. The manual states the lifter piece should move in and out and rotate around the bearing. For the above to happen I did not install the thrust washer as the extended shank seemed to take the place of the thrust washer.
Also, there are 3 different friction plates; the first, last and the 8 in between(see photos). The first one in the photo is the one with a larger inside diameter to accommodate the anti-judder spring and washer. the second one of 8 are the ones in the middle of the pack and the last one rest against the pressure plate. The one against the pressure plate has 60 friction pads while the ones in the middle of the pack have 50 friction pads...they look very similar.
After all was installed and clutch adjusted the road test was a success.
