I just repacked the clutch in my D2 serial #6453 1950 year model. My question is why are the teeth sheared off on my clutch disc? The clutch plate looks almost new with nice grooves still on both surface sides. Why did this happen? [attachment=74274]IMG_2897.jpg[/attachment] [attachment=74275]IMG_2944.jpg[/attachment]

Mine did the same thing. Someone said it had to do with leaving the clutch released with engine running. With the clutch disengaged the disk floats around in the flywheel. Just a theory that I heard.

we were told it was best to keep the clutch engaged to prevent warping so there might be a bit of truth to that. and think about it the normal position for most clutches is engaged when you work the mechanism it releases the clutch.

instead of perfection some times we just have to accept practicality

Testimonials

"I also joined a year ago. had been on here a couple of times as a non-member and found the info very helpful so I got a one year subscription (not very expensive at all) to try it out. I really like all the resources on here so I just got a three year. I think its a very small price for what you can get out of this site."
