I am getting ready to flush my clutch to see if that helps my slipping at least for the summer.



How much of the Acetone/Carbo-Sol fluid do I put in? Same anount as the oil, or do you fill it up so all the corks get wet??



Thanks for your help!

    If your clutch is slipping, I very much doubt that flushing it will help. The only reason for slipping usually is the corks are too thin, or worn out entirely. Flushing is usually only a cure for grabbing or harsh engagement, when the corks are glazed or burnt. Up to half a pint of solvent can be used for flushing. Prop the clutch pedal down, and turn the engine regularly for a couple of days so that the whole plate gets thoroughly soaked, and then drain out, flush with clean kerosene, and re-fill with 1/3rd pint of Hudsonite or equivalent. Good luck,

    Geoff.

    Geoff's right, check your free-play adjustment against the book. Not enough free-play (travel) will cause slipping.



    I had to put a whole pint of acetone in my clutch, and turn it 1/4 turn every 15 minutes to get my clutch to release, but it's been fine ever since.
