1927 Buick 27/27 clutch question


Recommended Posts

  I posted this on the technical forum and it was suggested I post here as well. I now have the clutch assembly in the flywheel but the last clutch/ friction plate concerns me- rivets to the cage- 

 

in operation I don’t imagine the last plate touches the the assembly enough for the filters to drag- I’d just like to confirm if you please.

Good to hear the clutch is in the flywheel. 

 

Sorry I cannot speak to the rivets on the last plate, when I did mine I didn't notice or take clutch plate pictures to share.

 

This doesn't matter now that your clutch is in the flywheel, but when I compressed my clutch in the press as you did, I kept it compressed by putting 3 small screws in the holes in the alignment pins.  This made it easier to line up the clutch plate teeth in the flywheel as everything was loose.

Then I used 3 long studs to guide the transmission back into place.  When the clutch linkage was reconnected, I depressed the clutch with the pedal and carefully removed the 3 small screws with a magnet.

I believe that is correct that the plate just sits on the rivets.  Tell us more about the 3 screws- I'm not seeing it. 

I'm not much help on aligning it as I have spare flywheel that I keep as an alignment tool for these clutches.

  First disc into the cage that carries the mounting studs for the assembly looks to have the rivets going against that ring- closest to the flywheel. Seems odd but that’s how it came apart

Here is a picture of spare 1927 Master clutch parts I have, showing the first disk into the cage carrying the mounting studs, and the rivets are exposed and don't appear rubbed on the flywheel at all.

I zoomed in on the picture, to hopefully clarify.
