Jan Posted July 6, 2022 Share Posted July 6, 2022 Thanks Lex for the pages, this far I came though the clutch itselve is OK. My problem is to reinstall the cluch cover, with the wormwheel and the pin inside the wormwheel to connect the pin back to the cluch, so the clutch can be pulled by the pin. The pin is missing the connection to the cluch, and I cannot figure out what happened during removing the sidecover. I am afraid I somehow disengaged the connection from the flared pin to the clutch, but cannot discover how the flared pin is connected to the clutch. There should be a reinstalling procedure that ensures clutch working as it should. Jan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now how to figure out how to install the lot with trying to keep the balls in place.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Used 2 wooden satay sticks to push the wormwheel in front of the gate, and hoped for the best with a lot of grease holding the balls in place (as I would like them to!). So far no strange noises or rough running discovered. One thing bothered me though: I found only 7 balls where there was plenty room for 8.. Did my father in law go with only 7?? There is no chance that I missed one ball, for there was nothing in the casing, and all 7 balls where in the clutch housing and no room for them to go further down than in that space (the photo shows 6 balls, one was in the coverplate so not visible on the picture). So fingers crossed that it went OK, but so far so good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan Posted November 23, 2022 Share Posted November 23, 2022 I'm back again to continue with a puzzle. As I have done the previous job (with slight succes) to solve a leakage along the wormwheel through the casing with a rubber seal (the bike runs OK but is still leaking). But: I have found out that the oil inside the casing should NOT be oil, but grease instead. And a found manual says "Shell Gearol (Ambroleum) , Mobiloil Compound C 1 of Shell Retinax." (from manual DKW RT 100 (oldtimercollection.nl) ) Nowadays Shell Retinax is called Gadus nl-lube-shuttle-sales-factsheet.pdf (shell.nl). Question: What type is the best to be used?

welbike Posted November 24, 2022 Share Posted November 24, 2022 I'm using 00 grease, can be found everywhere, and is very good inside gearboxes, leaks less, and works well. Hope this helps, Lex 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope this helps, Lex Thanks! Will get some Kroon EP 00/000 as it is suitable for non oil tight transmissions as they state. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
