Title: ew clutch
Post by: kev on 02 May 2016 at 14:10


  now starting on the clutch side

  here are all the parts I have...what is missing???

I m sure there is a brass ring with balls , thrust bearing on the clutch throwout arm??   could somebody take a picture and some measures...I have the ball race dia..as there is a track around the clutch arm  1/8 balls???

there must be a thrust  plate on the  clutch side of the thrust bearing..  picture and sizes would help...

the sheet iron plate that is screwed to the back of the flywheel has a flange on the inside...and it is cutting into the clutch fibre...looks like this means the fibre inner dia is too small???

the outside washer with the ears on..has some little flanges...are these necessary??  mine are broken off on one side...about half of it.....

must be something under the springs inside the flywheel???  what does it look like???

and the nut to hold it all on...what does that look like???

the outer plate that holds the springs...what does that look like???

thanks heaps for any help

I do not see any photos attached.

Like 'what type of gearbox oil to use', the EW clutch is also a perennial favorite for posts. Here are a few of the more illustrative ones via a quick search of the Forum in no particular order:

While this post is about a CW clutch, the informative section illustration is of an EW clutch.

Beware of the similar, but not quite the same CW clutch:
