Hi
Noticed several times today how the Octane hardly moved despite high engine RPM, especially up slopes.
Took the clutch apart, and it looked like in the pics below.
I did notice that the clutch must have been faulty assembled (by the previous owner), because when I was putting it together again I noticed the two ball bearings had both been fitted under the clutch bell, one should go under and one on top. So I guess that is the cause for some of the problems. But the very rough surface on the clutch shoes, is that normal? Considering how things works, I would have expected a rather well polished surface!?
I also noticed that the clutch bell, when refitted, came in contact with the flywheel. I had to put an extra washer in between (I put it under the bearing you see in the pic). I found that a bit strange, an indication of some kind of problem, or just normal?
Do I need to get new shoes or will these wear in again?
