Ray Mahony Posted October 7, 2023 Share Posted October 7, 2023 (edited) I am overhauling the clutch on my 1915 DB Roadster at the moment. That is, cleaning up the plates and fitting new linings. What total clearance should I have between plates? Edited October 7, 2023 by Ray Mahony (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Gregush Posted October 9, 2023 Share Posted October 9, 2023 Checking the Mechanics' Instruction Manual, I don't see any information on the clearance between the plates. Until everything is assembled and in the car, there really wouldn't be a way to check clearance, the spring would be putting everything under a lot of compression. Once in the car, you would then adjust the pedal and linkage for full disengagement of the disks. Thinking it might take a few adjustments as parts wear in. You might try re-asking this question down in the Dodge Brothers section. Did someone install a later engine or just change out the flywheel, clutch, bellhousing and transmission? Don't forget to install the 2 springs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DFeeney Posted October 9, 2023 Share Posted October 9, 2023 Treat the big spring in this clutch set up with respect. It can hurt you. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
