Talk Morgan Forums Morgan Sports Cars Morgan Three Wheeler & Super 3 Pulling out the motor/trans - replace clutch slave

JVS, I just realized that you're in Florida. It's good to know someone with your expertise is not too far away.

Good god, I wouldn't use a M3W as any measure of contemporary English mechanical thinking!! Morgan Design did a great job of styling the car (almost perfect in my opinion, for what the wanted to achieve) but mechanical implementation was, erm, 'less perfect'. There are certainly much better examples of English mechanical design out there....

2013bluem3w,

Are you in South Florida too? I wonder how many others might be nearby.

Bill in FtL

I'm in the Orlando area, so unfortunately I'm not too close.

anyone that wanted to see how to assemble and install a new upgraded Centa compensator onto the S&S motor please check out this post called.......



Install a new Centa Compensator unit

the clutch slave was very easy to replace.



Unclip the brake fluid tube and pull it off
(because of the brake fluid getting everywhere.



unbolt the old unit and bolt in the new unit
reattach the hose and clip

JVS Thank you so much for all the work you have done setting up the pictures and info for the Forum. I hope this will all go into the Workshop Manuel that is currently in process
Thanks again!

My pleasure!

I thought this would be great for those owners that are too far away from factory service and for those that are mechanically inclined to do their own work.

Huge thanks for all this effort!

Time to put the new clutch pack onto the engine.



First clean up the flywheel bolts


Attach the Flywheel to the engine shaft
80 ft lbs of torque on the bolts





We have a tool that can hold the flywheel from turning as you torque the bolts down.
It's a Snap On Tool A-144 Flywheel holder




Next up is the pressure plate - it has a label on which side faces the flywheel.






****Next is a critical Step **** (sorry no picture)
Using the pilot shaft ailment tool to center the clutch plate splines on the crankshaft.
Note: Without it being aligned to the pilot shaft correctly when going into the pilot shaft, it could damage the previous installed pilot shaft bushing!




Metric Clutch Alignment Tool need to do the job right



Torque pressure plate to flywheel at 25 ft lbs



the pilot shaft bushing that was installed with a small press before it was installed into the compensator part of the engine.





When bolting on the transmission tunnel:
No Lock tight to be used on these bolts
Be sure to use a small lock washers
Torque to 28 ft lbs
