Clutch on Oldsmobile 1921


Recommended Posts

Thank you for your efforts so far. I shall wait for you photo. Is it normal that the friction surfaces are loose - not clued or riveted on the clutch plate?

I myself own a Reo Model G from 1926. The car has dry, multidisk clutch where the friction surfaces are riveted on the clutch disks.

I have tried but cannot seem to get a picture loaded. I did not used to have a problem doing this. My exploded view very clearly shows the friction surfaces as being loose and separate from the clutch disc with one installed on either side of the disc. I believe it is a Borg and Beck setup. I could try to email it to you if I had your email address.

This Olds was bought as a restoration project from the US. So it should not be a export model. There is actually valve cover. Oiling of the valve mechanims happens through holes in the cover. The owner of the Model 43A thinks it is easier to oil valves if the cover is not on. If driving on dusty roads he thinks the cover should be in its place.
