Charles.
Yes it does always seem to be dragging and has always done so. Originally I thought it was due to wear in the toggles and particularly in the slots where they locate but having tried to rectify this the problem still persists which is why I started to consider wear in the thrust race housing and the clutch arms.
When I get the clutch apart I'll measure the spline length but in the absence of anything to compare it with I'm not sure how I could interpret the result. Does anyone have a driven plate they could measure?
I guess it would have to be too long to cause dragging so presumably a small amount could be machined off the end but, without being sure that's definitely the cause of the problem, I'd be a bit reluctant to get this done.
