loftuz Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 Hi all Just fitted my new clutch bell. Lay one got shredded. can someone please tell me if the mesh is close enough? Don't wanna knacker another bell up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmytheone Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 I would say that is slightly too loose. I look for about a 1mm of movement for the spur gear (holding the clutch bell still). I used to use the paper method to help get it right, worked for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spinney Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 Looks a bit loose. I use the paper method, easy to do! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loftuz Posted February 22, 2012 Author Share Posted February 22, 2012 See I used the paper trick last time and it stripped the bell How about this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soup Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 (edited) The original Looks loose to me. the second version looks to be almost there but not having access to "feel" it I wouldn't like to say. . A video of how to set gear mesh (lots and lots and... of videos, tutorials etc on the web) I prefer the paper method of checking others seem a bit subjective to me.

jimmytheone Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 As soup says its hard to tell with out touching and hearing it... But it looks better than the first, maybe a touch to close... god how annoying is that comment . Give it a quick blast up the road and have a look at the marks it leaves.

Ziggy122 Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 the 1st picture is clearly too loose the 2nd looks better A good way to test the Mesh without paper - is to hold the Spur gear or differential gear and rock the Clutchbell - there should be a little amount of movement - no more the 2mm tho If there isn't any movement and its instantly trying to move the spur its way to tight if the clutchbell has a excessive rock - its too loose Paper test can help tell you whats going on - but not guarentee'd Its experience will tell you whats going on Ziggy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loftuz Posted February 22, 2012 Author Share Posted February 22, 2012 Cheers peeps. Great advice as always. Think i got it sorted now. Like ziggy said. Experience is the only sure fire way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lazkopat Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 (edited) I would say that is slightly too loose. I look for about a 1mm of movement for the spur gear (holding the clutch bell still). I used to use the paper method to help get it right, worked for me. Use the paper method as Jim said, the 2nd picture looks way better. Looks spot on. The gearing should'nt be stiff and nor loose when turning the wheels, it should be smooth which is a balance between the two. I agree with Ziggy about the rocking aswel Edited February 22, 2012 by lazkopat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
