Buckster Posted Tuesday at 20:47 Share Posted Tuesday at 20:47 Fitted a Baker heavy duty clutch throw out bearing today. See here! It increases clutch disengagement and is supposed to slightly increase the lever pressure but I can’t feel any difference, it was a preventative maintenance job as stage 2 puts a lot more load on the clutch and the bearing tends to fail. Next job is the Barnet extra plate clutch kit as the clutch slips under power in fifth and sixth now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given that I was talking about putting a new clutch cable in the other week, the Alzheimer's is clearly kicking in for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, I won't, it does not increase lever pressure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
