Re: '76 60/6 - deleting steering damper

C.R.A.P.S. - too good. "Stuffers" will inevitably be the street lingo as it morphs with mass usage. Can you all live with being Stuffers? And apologies...I just had to: https://youtu.be/MvgN5gCuLac As a child of a Stuffer, I've moved in the "all my worldly stuff fits in my car" d...

Re: Clutch woes 1976 R60

Ok. Looking at the schemes on Max, the newer ballbearing also I believe is matched to the new piston.
So needle it is. And will create that regular TLC regiment.
Especially given the unfortunately constant feathering of the clutch in this metropolis, necessary evil.

Re: Clutch woes 1976 R60

Right right, ok, I remember reading somewhere how the piston acts as the race for the bearing. I can see how that all could come undone given the right circumstances.

So when replacing the bearing, one should go with the most recent part number. The ball type.

No Duane, you answered the mod part. It's me who should have been maybe more specific with my question. And that's interesting. I guess the mods I was wondering about were those that might prevent the kind of failure that happened. Which in my lack of tech knowledge I can only describe through the e...
