Hey guys, I am at the end of an unsuccessful weekend of work on my Featherbed project - I wonder if you can help me out.
As part of my build, I am fitting a Bob Newby Belt Drive and Clutch.
This weekend was the time to fit everything, and it went together perfectly.
However, with the clutch centre nut snugged up, I cannot select any gears.
When I loosen the nut off, I can select all the gears again.
The belt is aligned perfectly with the engine pulley, and tensioned right (90 degrees of twist on the belt)
The spacer behind the clutch baskets stops any rubbing on the primary case.
I've not yet fully assembled - I haven't put the clutch plates, pressure plate and pushrod on, so we know these are not causing an issue.
After a lot of pondering, we just can't work out what the problem is.
Any ideas would be really helpful, as I'm tearing my hair out here!
Thanks!
