Hi,
Despite fitting new linings to the clutch on my Ulsteroid, removing the wear in the toggle slots by fitting grub screws and also fitting new toggles I still can't engage first without an embarrassing crunching. Changing gear on the move is OK within the limits of my double de-clutching ability.
It's got a 3-speed box and I carefully filed the grub screws so that all the toggles were the same depth below the face of the crank-case mating face within something like 0.1 mm.
The thrust race seems OK but obviously it's housing does have some wear at the point where the toggles bear which must reduce the amount of clutch disengagement. That being said it didn't look that bad to me.
I'm hoping I don't need to remove the engine again to try to reduce this wear so firstly is there any technique to getting it to engage reasonably quietly and secondly would you expect matters to improve once the new linings have bedded in?
John.
