Groaning From Os Giken Twin Plate, Rebuild Time?

[kwazza11]

Ever since i've had my car the clutch has groaned like mad when taking off. i've got the engine and box out the car ATM so need to do something about it.

i havent stripped the clutch yet, has anyone had much experiance with twin plates being noisy? i'm hoping its just the spigot bearing but if its not what am i looking for?

anyone had one rebuilt? what sort of money did you pay?

looking at OS giken's prices looks like it'll be cheaper to buy a new clutch!

Cheers

The first thing I would do is to strip it down and measure the plate thickness and then generally inspect the condition overall. You can pick up new plates off Yahho Japan auctions for about 35000yen. (dunno what that is in your money)

plates are around 500-600 each.

Mine cost me i think 1300 to get done.

But mine used to groan, turns out the slave was stuffed. Clutch wasnt too bad but while out it makes sense to rebuilt it now
