I am quite new to the beautiful world of Classic Brits. So I could use some Help if possible. Thank you very much in advance.
I bought my self a 1959 Matchless G12. Unfortunately when I bought it the clutch was slipping.
So after reading the Workshop Manual and here in the Forum I opened it up and and made sure its adjusted right.
Unfortunately all seems good, but the clutch its still slipping. So I wanted to replace the friction plates and Springs or even upgrade the clutch if necessary.
And here come my questions:
Do I realy have a lightweight clutch with 3 friction plates (or sliping plates ?
Please have a look:
Does it make sense to replace the Clutch-blades and Springs or should I upgrade it to the 5 friction blade version as mentioned in the Workshop Manual
If not, could you help me figure out the right Article numbers of the suitable friction plates, springs and Steel Plates for my current clutch set-up.The early type clutch can be converted by using the following components:
1 Back plate 040584.
1 Clutch sprocket 040359.
4 Steel plates, plain 043191. 4 Friction plates 043192.
1 Friction plate 043193.
Since I am insecure about the clutch version I have , I am having trouble figuring the right part numbers in the Spares Catalogues which I have...
Would be grate, if you could help me to get on the Road for my first ride, before the winter sets in...
Thanks and Greetings from Germany Mainz
