[QUOTE="John Jones, post: 34945, member: 1150"] I mentioned earlier in this thread that on fitting the Quaife box I had experienced a slipping clutch, then when shimming out behind the gearbox plate to push the mains haft to the drive side and pull the clutch centre in towards the drive side the gear change became stiff. Well now I think we have solved the problem. The splines on the Quaife mainshaft are so tight into the V3 clutch centre that it was not going fully on by about 2-3mm. This caused the clutch to slip badly. By shimming the mainshaft we solved the slipping but made the gearbox tight. By stoning the splines for an hour we have managed to get the centre fully home making the clutch tight and the gearbox loose. Final testing tomorrow. Another issue with the V3 clutch graunching occasionally. When you pulled in the clutch lever the pressure plate would not lift evenly. The obvious thing to do is to shim the springs even though it should not be needed on a new Kawasaki clutch. What I noticed was that when I rotated the clutch the unevenness of lift would change position randomly. So however you shimmed the springs you could never get the pressure plate to lift evenly as it rotated. The problem is the pushrod being loose in the mainshaft and not being supported at its end. The solution (I hope) is a phosphor bronze bush and a neat little ball bearing in the pressure plate. Roll on the Manx.
