DB Clutch


Recommended Posts

Can anyone tell me exactly when the multi disc=clutch was used in the DB cars.  I know both the 15 and 16 used an aluminium gear casing; one with acone clutch and one with a multi-disc.  I have measured chassis depths for both cars and the 16 is bigger, but I have a 15 with a multi-disc clutch.  this leads me to think that the Multi clutch was introduces some time before 1916.  does anyone have an exact date.

From the master parts book: The multi disk clutch started between cars 63361 and 66151 which would be sometime between March and May 1916 up to sometime in 1926. I have a 1917 block with aluminum bellhousing/crankcase that the numbers match between the two, it has multi disk clutch.
