Perry. I recall when rebuilding my clutch that the different pieces were supposed to be match marked, and reassembled accordingly. Some of my pieces also had grouped holes like would be drilled durring the balancing process. Wouldent hurt to have it done again with todays better technology. Jesse.

Would anyone know what is the out of the box thickness for a clutch plate as used on a Sexton?

Many thanks.

I dont know, but to widen the field, it should be the same as a Sherman with radial engine.

Mark,

The Clutch “Table of limits” for R975 C1 can be found on pages 219 and 220 of this manual:

Default Something to watch out for.

I noticed this posted on another forum. Double check that you don't have one of these installed.
