DAN696 Posted August 31, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2017 Hello I've got the cases together with your advice thank you and everything spins free and nice but I think I'm missing a shim from behind the clutch basket. There's a shim against the bearing then a circlip should there be another shim that the needle rollers run against rather than against the circlip. If there is does anyone know the dimensions Cheers Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grib Posted August 31, 2017 Report Share Posted August 31, 2017 Yes there is a shim/spacer there - look at pages 1&2 N5 in the parts book. The earlier gearboxes had a spacer then the circlip and a counterbored spacer/shim that fits over it, the later gearboxes had no circlip and just one spacer. I dont have dimensions I am afraid, the I/D and O/D will be the same as the inner spacer and the counterbore will be to clear the circlip, the thickness is the missing dimension. Bill Pye or Bob Wright might have one.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grib Posted August 31, 2017 Report Share Posted August 31, 2017 How thick is the inner spacer? On page N5/2 it looks like the single spacer is 3.40 to 3.54mm thick - the total thickness of the two spacers on the earlier gearbox would be the same as the single spacer.

DAN696 Posted August 31, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2017 So the outer spacer is counterbored to go over the circlip and come up against the inner spacer/ shim and the overall thickness of the two spacers is 3.4 to 3.54 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAN696 Posted August 31, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2017 Do you think the spacers will be hardened at all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DAN696 Posted August 31, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2017 Cheers I'll have a look Tomorrow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAN696 Posted September 1, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2017 Had a look today and inner spacer is about 1mm and I nicked the outside with a hacksaw so not hardened just waiting till I can get in a lathe at work now. Is there any I should be looking at when assembling the clutch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grib Posted September 2, 2017 Report Share Posted September 2, 2017 Not really - tighten the hub nut to the torque in the handbook, and adjust the clearance on the push-rod. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
