The clutch on my special has been developing a judder when changing down and also getting increasingly sharp when taking off from rest. Over the past few hundred miles it has become almost intolerable.
When I heard debris being hurled around in the flywheel area I took the gearbox out expecting to find something obviously amiss however everything looks fine. Apart from a couple of thou movement in the rivets holding the splined boss I can find nothing wrong at all. Incidentally the pinion bearings are newish and the UJs look good. I haven't yet taken the flywheel off and haven't found the debris.
It's a 4 speed box and the clutch-type with linings on the flywheel and cover plate.
Where should I be looking for wear or problems? Clutch levers perhaps?
