Speaking of putting something on the splines--------do any of you coat the =
splines with permatex after inserting a new oil seal in the rear of your tr=
anny shaft?

Subject: Re: [Healeys] New Clutch query
Since we're grasping at input shafts, er, straws ... Did you lube
the splines with anything? I know it's a slight risk given grease
could be slung onto the disk or cover plate--although engine oil
will likely end up in the vicinity sooner or later--I've always done
it with no issues (if anybody cares, my favorite product for things
like this is Redline's wheel bearing grease).
I'm probably wrong, but I don't think 'centering' is the issue, as I
think Simon was probably pretty careful about it, and I've never
heard of anybody having trouble with a centering tool or input
shaft.

Subject: Re: [Healeys] New Clutch query One suggestion: When you use the
centering tool (plastic or otherwise), tilt the tool all
the way up then all the way down, then do the same from
side to side, then split the difference with the tool in
place when you tighten the pressure plate bolts. I
personally go through this routine at least 2 or 3 times
to make sure I am as close to the center position as
possible. One question: Why do you think the
metal input shaft is harder to use than the plastic
tool? The input shaft is much longer than the plastic
tool and you can get a better feel for finding the center
position when moving it through its range of motion as you
align the disc. On Sun, Sep 26, 2021 at 7:42 AM Simon
