87 Tr34 Clutch Woes

Hi,

Am the recent proud owner of a TR34 which I'm restoring to its previous glory.

See : http://s56.photobucket.com/albums/g195/dwbrown/BetaTR34/

Bought a clutch kit from Steve Goode as it wasn't playing ball at all.

On removal of the stuck plates there were 7 friction plates with 6 spacers and a thick aluminium plate at the crank end.

The replacement clutch kit came with 8 friction plates and 7 metal spacer plates.

So, I ditched the two extra plates and refitted with the original aluminium spacer.

But alas the clutch is still foobar.

Any hints anyone ? Newbie explanations preferred !! ;-)

OK, so its back together now. I'll try a slightly easier noob question.

What oil should I be putting back in the engine/gearbox ? (I've ruled out extra virgin olive/castor and groundnut so far !)

Welcome to the fun and friendly world of trials riding.

Jeesh, what a handy forum !

Oh well, at least Mr Lampkin's shop seemed quick and efficient for mail order spares.

I shall pop oop there and rattle his brains at the weekend.

Thanks Everyone.
