Clutch throwout mechanism 1912 Buick model 36

[teddles]

I have a rattle coming from the gearbox side of my clutch. Between the gearbox and the clutch there is a mechanism behind the clutch throwout. Can someone tell me what is in there please. And maybe even a drawing.

 

Cheers.

Cone clutch components didn't change much until 1916.

Thank you Mark. That makes it all easy. I dont suppose you have any more parts lists like that for the other machanical parts of the car?

Ted,

     Yes I do, but not specifically for your year and model Buick.  What do you need?

Gday Mark, The gearbox, driveshaft and diff would be helpful.

Thanks to everyone who helped me with this problem. I now have it sorted. After pulling bits off and reinstalling them in many different ways with no change in the rattle, I once again slid the cover back from the olden ring and plastered as much molygrease in there as I could get. (it wasnt dry before). Put the cover back on exactly as it was before and no more noise. Everything is working like is ought to. Life will be dull now. I will go and work on the BSA motorbike. Thats a challenge.

Ted,

     The Oldham Ring on one of my Buicks had multiple holes drilled in it with graphite inserts to lubricate the bearing as it wears.
