My clutch has been acting funny for about a month now - feeling like there's air in the line, & chattery when not engaged. I've bled it several times, which makes it ok for a little while, but it deteriorates pretty quickly. I figured the slave was on its way out; when I fixed the the bleed screw last month, the seal on the slave piston looked pretty worn & its been since then that's been degrading pretty rapidly.
So today, I have almost all the parts I need (waiting on a new mushroom pin, although I could re-use the original, but since the new one will be here, I might as well wait) - I figured I'd take it apart, clean it all up and measure the clutch pack - in the event it could stand for new plates while I wait for the pin.
1st, the picture (attached) - this was the stock clutch pin I pulled out. Catastrophic bearing failure. I guess that explains the chattering and weak feel at the lever!
Next question: I measured the plates (friction disc et al) at about 30.3-30.5mm. So it's down about 3mm . I suppose I could order a new clutch pack, since I'm in there and replacing everything else already - but what's the minimum thickness for the pack?
