Clutch Pedal Vibration

[Steve Jones]

Whilst I now use four speed races using the modifications Terry shows, I have, also, re-worked three speed races in the past. My way has been to weld up the area of the cage at the bottom of the slot where it wears and then face it up again in the lathe. It's worked OK. However, in re-setting all the components, you have to be careful that the levers don't hit the taper pins in the cross shaft as others have already said. I did have this happen to me once on a trial after a particularly difficult stop/re-start when something or other moved (we never did work out what). Pressing the pedal slightly caused the resulting noise to go away so, as a temporary fix, we hooked a bungy strap between the pedal and the dynamo and completed the event. Something certainly to check.
