I just ran out and checked my 850T transmission sitting
on the work
bench with an extra cup I have. Unless the the shoulder
is protruding
beyond the threads on the input shaft, I don't think you
have anything
to worry about.
What was your washer and nut set up like? My output nut
is already
torqued on, but if you can get the thickness of it
(perhaps Gordon can
measure one for you) as well as the thickness of the
washer (I have a
toothed one, if that's what you used), I'll measure it
out and see if
it's even possible to have a problem.

Thanks Joe, I did briefly talked to Rick & Gordon this
morning who told me "I've always done it that way
(ground
off the shoulder) - but don't remember why". Neither
thinks it will hurt anything if you don't, but better
safe
than sorry. Out it comes <sigh>.

Tom,
I'm recalling a conversation I had with Gordon
about this back
in 1999, when I bought one of the nuts for my Sport. I
never encountered
the problem myself, but I ground off the shoulder |
| | to installation.
If it really were a problem, I would suspect that the
guys at MG would
have warned you - why don't you give them a call and
pass on what they
tell you.
I apologize if I mis-spoke...going from a faded
memory.

YIKES - is this true? I bought one and used it but I
hadn't heard you needed to grind the shoulder? The
tranny's back in the bike but I haven't cranked it |
|
| | | | yet. Can anyone verify this (for an Eldo Police with
5-speed)?
Geez - really don't want to take the tranny out |

thanks, tom

Bill,
The Bronze Beauty is an 850? With a 5 |
|
|
| | | | The
| | 850T Trans in
Junkyard and the 5 speed in my V-7 Sport both had |
|
|
| | | | | | o-rings on the
transmission input shaft inside/behind the clutch |
|
|
| | | | | | The smaller of
the two fits in a groove on the shaft; the larger |
|
|
| | | | | | on top of the
shaft against the input shaft bearing. You won't |
|
|
| | | | | | either of these
until you pull your old hub, then look on the shaft |
| | by the bearing.
Also, if you bought the hex nut to replace the
special clutch hub
nut, don't forget to grind off the thin-walled |
|
|
| | | | | | above the hex. I
think it may interfere with the throw out bushing
installed on the
pressure plate, preventing the clutch from
engaging.....now that I think
about it, that may not be a problem with a Ram |
|
|
| | | | | | but I was warned
about it by Gordon when I bought one for my Sport a |
| | years back.
You and the Beauty are going to love the flywheel |

| | This evening was spent taking the Bronze Beauty |
|
|
|
| | | | to
| | | | get at the
clutch to replace it with a RAM, all the info I |
|
|
|
| | | | | | | | here was real
helpful,...but WHAT A PAIN JUST TO GET TO THE DAMN
THING!!! I've
replaced many clutches in Jap & British bikes, and |
|
| | | | did I have to
take so much off the bike to get at them!!!
Okay, I'm done venting. Now for my question: When |
|
|
|
| | | | | | | | ordered the clutch,
I told Gordon to send whatever seals and "O" rings |
|
| | | | should be
replaced when doing such a job. The problem is |
|
|
|
| | | | now
| | | | that it's all
apart, I can't for the life of me see where three |
|
|
|
| | | | the
| | | | o-rings he sent
belong. The first is 2.7 cm in diameter, the |
|
|
|
| | | | is
| | | | 2.5 cm diameter,
and the third is 2.2 cm diameter. There are also |
|
| | | | little cone
shaped rubber things, each is 1 cm on one end and |
|
|
|
| | | | cm
| | | | on the other,
and .7 cm in length......What the hell are they
for?!?!?!?
You guys that have been down the RAM clutch road, |
|
|
|
| | | | | | | | you help me on
this one?
Thanks
Bill
