Cougar Posted April 4, 2010 #1 Posted April 4, 2010 I need to know if this is correct. [ATTACH]43583[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]43584[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]43585[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]43586[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]43587[/ATTACH] The thrust washer that is behind the basket that holds all the friction disks , It goes on the splines and then drops onto the flat round part leaving space and wiggles around is this correct ? There are no splines after that and under the clutch basket it self. Just wanted to make sure. Thanks, Jeff
Squeeze Posted April 4, 2010 #2 Posted April 4, 2010 That's OK, the Notches on the Washer are designed like that to keep the Washer as close to the inner Diameter, not tumbling.
FreezyRider Posted April 4, 2010 #3 Posted April 4, 2010 Jeff, To me, that doesn't make sense. Why go to all the trouble to make a thrust washer with an internal spline ($$) if it isn't going to use those splines once installed, but just sit in a spot with no splines? I don't think something is right here..... Joe Edit: Of course, after reading Squeeze's reply, maybe I'm all wet!
Cougar Posted April 4, 2010 Author #4 Posted April 4, 2010 Right. I even pulled the clutch basket all the way off to make sure if there where any splines to go onto but there is none. I remember when I first slide the friction basket off that washer was perfectly on the back side of it. with the oil keeping it in place I guess. but I agree why did they add the teeth to the thrust washer? when there is nothing to hold it at the end? Squeeze huh? so look at my pictures again please. I just am not understanding yet
Cougar Posted April 4, 2010 Author #5 Posted April 4, 2010 maybe in lamins term squeeze is saying if the notches are on there , in short once it reaches the open area. there will be less to move around? make since? hehehe
Cougar Posted April 4, 2010 Author #6 Posted April 4, 2010 And I took this all apart for nothing? (I just could not sleep last night over this washer) But boy and sure can change a basket out fast now!
Squeeze Posted April 4, 2010 #7 Posted April 4, 2010 maybe in lamins term squeeze is saying if the notches are on there , in short once it reaches the open area. there will be less to move around? make since? hehehe Yes, that's what i was trying to say. Thanks for translating ...
