    Fort Wayne Clutch

    I notice in their parts pic they don't show a clutch disc with caged springs.

    FW Clutch is one if not THE best suppliers for clutch applications. I just thought this was odd.

    Wow, that is really strange for a place with a reputation like theirs!
    They certainly know better.
    Bert's and Bratton's both have the correct disc. The non-caged discs are pure junk and should be avoided

        that was my understanding also. Reportedly when someone queried them last year, they said they had only had a couple of complaints.
        Let's see now, since you have to nearly disassemble the entire car to get at it, that might be a couple too many?

            If you beat up a reaction carrier caged or not,replacing it with a caged one does not cure the root cause..improper pressure plate spring tension,finger adjustment and flywheel housing alignment all have an effect on the reaction carrier.I imagine Synders feels if you do the job right the uncaged ones are adequate.

              Hi guys. I found this thread from February because I'm about to buy some clutch parts. After reading this thread and a few others like it, I have a couple of questions that I hope you can help me with.

              1. Are the caged-spring disks offered by a few vendors all basically the same? Are they all the same quality?

              2. Some vendors offer brand new pressure plates, and some offer rebuilt. What is your recommendation?

                Sent them 520 lbs worth of pressure plates, clutch disks and u-joints cores on a trade deal. Received my share back last Monday. I am very pleased with them. Have 2 rebuilt pressure plates and one or two clutch disks I will be offering to sell soon. Learned something in the process. The Auburn and the Model A had nearly identical pressure plates. Seems one I had marked as one of the ones I wanted back as rebuilt is actually for an Auburn. Bolt pattern, spring pressure etc are the same. The only difference is the Auburn has notches in the center of the fingers. Will work on an A though. Here I thought I had sent them all Model A pressure plates. Rod

                  Looking for a clutch disc.
                  by Dennis
                  I'm trying to help a fellow club member finding a captive spring clutch disc. Talking to people at the counter of local parts stores has been a lost exercise. Who of our vendors has anybody gotten a disc lately that had captive springs? The local A dealer has the cheapy stocked.

                  Can somebody tell me the original thickness for the lined discs in the multiple disc clutch? I measured my discs,and somebody that worked on them in the past seems to think my relined ones are too thick.

                  (Problem Solved) Multi-Disc Clutch Pack
                  by Steve Plucker
                  After assembly of the Multi-Disc Clutch Pack, I have about 1/4 inch movement up and down of the clutch discs within the assembled pack.

                  Is that normal? First time with this.

                  Thanks.

                  Clutch problem
                  by 2manycars
                  My clutch has been giving intermittant problems for a while now, and I suspect one of the little springs in the disk is loose. Sometimes when I disengage the clutch, there is a squealing noise, and if I let up the pedal and try again it is quiet. Yesterday it did that at the gas station, and while it was squealing, I could not get the transmission into gear. So in the next day or so I will pull...

Worked good before I pulled engine and tranny for freshen up and repairs.i adjusted pp at just .010” over 11/16”.it grinds gears( all new) and if I get in gear, the car is shuddering trying to move, with the clutch pedal in.Right now, the free play needs to be loosened a turn or two on the trunion. The clutch was purchased from brattons about...

                  by Keith True
                  I have a 28 with a multi disc clutch that has just started hanging up.It was fine around Christmas,but when I took off with it a couple of days ago it started hanging up while shifting.What's interesting is that I can push the pedal down and stick it into any gear without so much as a click.It's the 1-2 and 2-3 shift while moving.This isn't a light oil kind of hangup,this is like no disengagement...
