Yeah I found that video last night now I just need to learn how to properly de-stake and the stake that nut. I'll likely wad a bunch of rags around the area to prevent damage if the chisel slips. There are a couple of minor dings in there already either from the factory installation or when the dealer got in there.
Wow, I have 10,000. I hope mine doesn't start making noise.The shop I called said that the rocket clutch is basically backwards from a normal clutch and yes one has to remove it to replace the plates.
Also the center nut is 30mm, not 22 as it claims.
What is the suggested clutch service interval? I'm almost thinking to just deal with that occasional noise until I really need to do this. I have 14k miles on it now.
Then again I've gotten this far so I might as well.
It probably would have by now, both times the dealer messed with it the noise was gone for 600mi and then returned. They never replaced anything though.
When I had the Roadster I replaced the clutch with a Barnett kit (not available for the 2.5s). The heavy springs made the lever a little stiffer, but not an issue at all.
Ok, so the end of the riding season is here. And the judder did not really go away. Some quick fixes helped a little bit. But never really gone. Always there on a cold engine start…
So I chose to bite the bullet and install new clutchplates…
Taking out the old plates I noticed the anti judder spring had made a deep groove into the steelplate which it is pressed against.
Then looking at the new set and checking the manual “there should not be a groove in any of the plates!!!”.
I’m still working on putting everything together, so did not ride it yet… But I think this has to be the cause of a not functioning anti judder spring.
