Fitting cush-drive rubbers Triumph Bonniville T120R

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

I was getting clutch slip and vibration at around 5500-6000 rpm the plates where OK and the springs new.
I decided to revert to a 4 spring pressure plate fitted with (the three spring type)
cups and springs. The clutch is quite heavy now but with a bit of luck it shouldn't slip.
Any way I took the three spring centre apart and this is what I found.

    That's a good method John.I bolted my lever to the splined centre.I gripped the drum in the vice.That extra long lever made it so easy.

    It works. And makes one of those jobs that people roll their eyes at and predict doom a breeze. 1957 TR6 with 4 spring clutch - rubbers inserted in under a minute. No lubricant required. No forcing. An excellent method.

    @MrGatohead Hi MrGato :-) It sorted the vibration and a bit of clunking, to cure the slippage I boil my plates in a strong floor cleaner solution I also went back to a four spring clutch, as even with new springs I could make the three one slip. For you try boiling the friction plates, if you can get movement on the hub (twist) by hand, the rubbers are probably shot.

    @T140Rich Hi T140Rich :-) thank you, using an old plate and a bit of leverage makes the job a breeze :-D

    You made it look easy and it might be with the old compressed knackered rubbers. My new rubbers on my 1966 TR6R are a different story! Even with my made up clutch spanner and an old fork stanchion for extra leverage they don't want to go!

    Hi Christopher :-) they where new rubbers that I was using, if you where using a fork stanchion as a lever I cannot understand why you had a problem.

    Brilliant! I was trying to install the drive rubbers today on my 67 TR6R and could not get them in. Now I know how! Thank you for this video and all the others you are posting. Are you located in the UK? I am in the States but may be visiting Cornwall in September.

    Hi John... did you find that the cush drive rubbers solved your problem? I have some slippage at 5000 rpm also and should probably change out my cush rubbers if it did the trick for you. Great vid btw.

    My kind of "engineering!" Think through the problem and develop a solution with materials on hand. You'll be missed!
