• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

    Any A/mkt Clutch Kits for 09 SE5's?

    The steel driven plate, while thicker, also has offset tabs on the perimeter, providing clearance for the friction plate tabs as they are also offset as well as being U shaped, while still allowing them to marry up to the friction plate, probably making for better oil flow and cooling. And...

    Any A/mkt Clutch Kits for 09 SE5's?

    After looking at your chart that you posted, and my limited knowledge concerning your machine, (ie, sm5, turbo charged) I had a couple of questions. The sm5 has a vacuum assist clutch that comes into play up to approx. 4000 rpm's or your throttle position, less bringing on more assist. When you...

    Any A/mkt Clutch Kits for 09 SE5's?

    Putting a new nozzle in is a very simple, straight forward procedure. Taking the panels off to gain access to the location will take you twice the time as the actual procedure to replace it. Not sure how necessary it is, it is something that is part of the new clutch pack.

    Any A/mkt Clutch Kits for 09 SE5's?

    Sorry, you are correct. Should have clarified that I was referring to the se5.

    Any A/mkt Clutch Kits for 09 SE5's?

    The centrifical clutch assembly, without going into much detail, contains several disc's that perform different functions and some centrifical weights referred to as rollers. As the engine RPM's increase and the clutch spins, these rollers, which resemble small dumb bells, move out, increasing...

    Any A/mkt Clutch Kits for 09 SE5's?

    These are some photos showing the difference in the steel driven plate, the offset faces the disc pack, very important to soak the plates in oil for 1/2 hour prior to installing. The clutch pack compression device is used to compress the disc pack to enable an accurate measurement from the top...

    Any A/mkt Clutch Kits for 09 SE5's?

    The only spring involved with this kit was the spring disc. The pressure plate and clutch drum assembly were not involved, so did not remove them, as my discs had just started slipping and were not burned. Shop mechanic as well as myself could not detect any burnt smell or color in the oil. Also...

    Any A/mkt Clutch Kits for 09 SE5's?

    There is quite a bit of difference in the new and old nozzles. The old nozzle is very short, whereas the new nozzle looks somewhat like the needles that are used to air up a ball. It is considerably longer. I will post a picture of it when I figure out how to attach it.

    Any A/mkt Clutch Kits for 09 SE5's?

    Thats when I noticed it. Either when I would hit resume on my cruise control or when I would pull out to pass another vehicle and roll the thottle wide open. The RPM's would jump but the Machine would then slowly catch up with the engine.

    Any A/mkt Clutch Kits for 09 SE5's?

    After putting in the new clutch kit with the extra two plates plus a thicker steel driven plate, and a new disk spring, I assume it just tightened things up a little, made the clutch somewhat more responsive.

    Any A/mkt Clutch Kits for 09 SE5's?

    Reason I ask, is now when I put it in 1st or reverse, the clutch grabs and at an idle will try to move the machine if it is on the level. Really not a problem, just don't have to have the rpm's up to approximately 2400 for it to engage. Slight brake pressure holds it just fine.

    Any A/mkt Clutch Kits for 09 SE5's?

    Might I inquire as to what the symptoms were, how you realized it was your clutch. Any unusual sounds, etc. Which way was the clutch shimmed wrong? Too much, or too little. Thanks for your replies.

    Any A/mkt Clutch Kits for 09 SE5's?

    Removed the clutch cover and remeasured the pressure plate and disk spring, and the distance from the top of the clutch hub to the last friction plate, and found that while I had measured it correctly, I had read it wrong. And after thinking about it, realized, those measurements should come...

    Any A/mkt Clutch Kits for 09 SE5's?

    Any reason I could not use the 1mm plate from the original pack? It isn't burned or warped. Also the example given in the manual, would seem to imply that measurement B, is greater then A. This was not the case with the new clutch, as a result, A being .5mm greater then B. So adding 1mm, and...

    Any A/mkt Clutch Kits for 09 SE5's?

    Since it has an additional friction plate and steel plate, would this eliminate the need for using additional adjustment plates. Should also add that the new steel driven plate is thicker then the 2.5mm original. When I measured the disk spring on the pressure plate I got 12mm. Measuring the...
