Posted November 29, 201311 yr Hello All My clutch is nearing it's end on my xj6n. when it does finally give up, I want to have a go at replacing it myself. Can I get away with just changing the friction plates or will I have to change steel plates as well.
November 29, 201311 yr Yep as long as you dont let it get ot worn,ie to the point it totaly goes and blue up the steels and warp them. Lay each steel plate on glass and try and run a feeler gauge under warp limit is aprox.004 in or 0.1 mm. Dont for get to soak your new friction plates in oil overnight prior to installing
November 30, 201311 yr NP have a look on utube lots of vids about changing out clutches,one thing thoe dont over tighten the pressure bolts they break quite easy ,,tighten them up till tight and thats good,the spring will keep em in place.I like to use some blue loctight on em.Actualy I put blue on every bolt on my bikes. Good luck with the job hope it goes smooth for you.
