I am going to start making transmission tools and would like to acquire some clutch disks to be sacrificed.

Let me know if you have any

Posted by: Spoke May 22 2011, 09:43 PM

I have one for you.

Posted by: Dr Evil May 22 2011, 09:50 PM

What are you still doing up? I should be in bed...16hr shift tomorrow

I will take all of them I can get. I'll PM you, Spoke.

I think I might have a couple. Will send them to you if I can find them.

Posted by: bdstone914 May 23 2011, 07:46 AM

How many do you need and what are they worth to you? I have a bunch.

Posted by: Dr Evil May 23 2011, 08:50 AM

Well, Bruce, I am gonna see how many I can get for the cost of shipping. If I can get a bunch, then paying for worn out clutch disks seems kind of goofy

Posted by: underthetire May 23 2011, 09:05 AM

Damn, just tossed a bunch of bus ones. I'm assuming you just need the splines?

Posted by: Dr Evil May 23 2011, 09:15 AM

Yup, splines.

I tossed a bunch last year in a frenzy to get ready to move Hind sight is a bitch.

Posted by: underthetire May 23 2011, 09:32 AM

Yup, just moved myself. Just finished last week.

You mean like this:
(notice the anti-slip grip )

Mike, I was thinking about these earlier- would it make sense to build a "combo wrench", with a 1st gear slider at one side and a clutch hub at the other? Better yet, making up a bunch of these would be a good side task at your next clinic if someone were to bring a welder and some bar stock.

Posted by: Dr Evil May 23 2011, 03:47 PM

Low blow, Rich. So true, though

Andy, that is kind of what I am doing. I want to make up complete tool packages so people do not have to source anything or make anything. I can make them for cheap with old parts and then sell them for cheap. I probably should have held onto those junk sliders from the clinic, but I can always get more and I have quite a few.

Jaymann, I will take it. I gut them for the splines.

Dr Evil , you can also source some VW T1 clutch discs as another source of spline hubs , I just checked , I have an old VW T1 disc and it fit perfectly onto a 914 input shaft . These should be plentiful and cheap , run an ad on the Samba for some . Good Luck .......

411 disc's are no use though, the spline is smaller; strange for a type IV.
With only a little work the splined center can be removed to make shipping easier.

I dont want the folks to have to do anything but stick them in a box and ship them. Once I start asking them to do work I will be expected to pay more.

Posted by: budk May 24 2011, 11:49 AM

I should have one for you...

I'm mailing mine today. No charge for your help with my trans.

Posted by: Dr Evil May 25 2011, 10:49 AM

Thanks man, it was my pleasure

To those of you who have sent me your disks, I humbly thank you Very selfless on your parts If you need one of these tools, I will gladly discount the price (since you supplied the parts).

I am always looking for more!
