    Very good description and technical explanation of a multiplate wet clutch. From an old mechanic, the only advice I would add for someone brave enough to open one, is to use your eyes and nose when evaluating the condition. Smell the oil, if it smells burnt, strike one... look for blue/heat spots on the plate, (smooth metal parts).
    Not to get bi-purpose on you, but automatic transmissions use very similar multiplate clutches in their clutch packs. But everyone knows automatics are half black magic, half voodoo and half FM principal, (effing magic).
    Well, done, as usual, even though it was about a demon machine.

  • @stephenbaer2273
    @stephenbaer2273 4 ปีที่แล้ว +85

    Great Video, .. as always.
    Just some hints for viewers who'd like to work on their motorbike-clutch too.
    1. As Tony mentioned, remember the assembly-order for reassembling, yes it does make a difference.
    2. some manufacturers implemented the clutch pack with a "facing-order" as well. meaning, that it's important to have plates facing inward and outward to spec.
    those are usually marked as well. if in doubt have a look at a service manual, or (if no manual available) at some online-shops, that might just have close-ups of the plates,
    to look for markings.
    3. any wet-clutch does "behave" a bit differently with different oil-temperatures (yes, wet means, it's running in oil... engine oil, though), therefore, if you're having trouble with your clutch
    slipping at higher temperatures you might consider a different oil (somewhere in the range of manufacturers oil-specs, mind you). some OEM-clutches are famous for slipping with the "wrong" oil.
    4. the "cold-play" of the clutch-lever (so the physical clutch-engagenment) might be different from the "hot-play".
    one should consider this when trying to minimize the play whilst assembly by shmming. A zero cold-play might result in slipping when hot. (might! it all depends on how it's manufactured)
    5. all the above-mentioned relates to the whole "chain of engagement" as well. as a rule of thumb. adjust the play to a point where you have like a 5mm of dead-way on your clutch lever
    (somewhere in the middle of the length of the lever itself / where your middlefinger touches the lever). Then run it, until hot, measure the dead-way again and see if it increases or decreases.
    this gives you a good idea on how much more to reduce play between parts, if you're chasing the last 1/10ths.
    6. yes, there's plenty of debate on whether synthetic or mineral oil is best for proper clutch operation.... no there's no conclusion yet (i wonder why :-P)
    7. yes, smooth clutch-operation helps for long-term satisfaction. .-)
    8. no i'm not a certified expert on this matter, just wrenching a lot and taking stuff seriously.
    9. yes, i'm german, if you find any spelling mistakes or sentences oddly put together, .. feel free to keep 'em.
    Cheers,
    S.

      Border line spring length could result in clutch slippage as peak power, or a normal feeling clutch that will eventually start slipping. Better just replace them with heavy duty ones while you're at it, instead of buying another set of gaskets.

      I work in the US on mostly FMC and International/Navistar vehicles and those are the most common fasteners I run into. On trucks, you use 8mm (5/16") for hose clamps, 10mm for valve cover, water pump , AC compressor, and many other bolts, 13mm (basically 1/2") for alternators and other accessories, 15mm(9/16") for turbo mounting bolts and other large components, and 19mm for anything on the frame. Also 24mm for the drain plug, 33mm for lug nuts, and 36mm for fuel filter housings. The lines on those things are mostly standard sizes though. You can do an Allison 2000 series with a 14mm for the bell housing bolts, 15mm for the torque converter nuts, but for the cooler lines you need 3/4, 13/16, 7/8, and 15/16 wrenches.
