RE-ASSEMBLY OF THE CLUTCH
The clutch is of straight-forward construction and a
study of Fig. 32 will show how the parts are
assembled. It is important to note that the cork
washer must not be omitted as this is for the purpose
of preventing oil reaching the clutch. The plates must
be fitted in their proper order, as follows: Fabric disc,
driven plate (tongues on outer diameter), fabric disc,
driving late (tongues on inner diameter), etc., stating
and finishing with a fabric disc of which there are
eight.
Difficulty may be experienced in compressing the
spring before the central ring nut can be started on its
threads, and a suitable bolt and washer used as
illustrated in Fig. 31 will enable the sprig to be
compressed sufficiently for the ring nut to be screwed
home.
No adjustment is provided for altering he tension of
the ring and the ring must be screwed up tight. After
carefully centralising sliding plate (in ear half of
chaincase) with gearbox mainshaft, refit
clutch assembly to mainshaft after cork
washer and key have been placed in position.
Screw home and well tighten sleeve nut.

Refit clutch actuating cap (first smearing small
quantity of grease on ball in centre) and finally
replace clutch cover. When replacing the clutch
cover verify that the paper washer is in position and it
should be lightly smeared with jointing compound
before assembly, to ensure an oil-tight joint.
