After the Blakeney run, Tom reported that the SQ4 clutch was slipping when he got home - he couldn't get it to go over 50 mph without the clutch slipping.
We rebuilt it using the new plates from the W/NG, which got it's old Ferodo plates back; middle grandson Felix helped with the job:
We made a little pointer to show the pressure plate was lifting squarely:
Oddly, it wouldn't functioning with the old pushrod - We had to add 1/8" to the pushrod length, having found the original 12 3/4" wasn't long enough but 13" was too long. We settled on 12 7/8".
A month later, we had the opposite problem where it wouldn't disengage - Tom took it apart again and adjusted it, and all was well. Sticky new plates, or some intermittent fault?
