By Mike Campbel on Sunday, April 15, 2007 - 04:26 pm:I've seen mentioned many time on the forum the Watts transmission clutch. What exactly is it, what are the advantages and are there any modifications that need to be made?
By Jim Weir on Sunday, April 15, 2007 - 05:18 pm:Mike; see " Clutch Choices" in key word searches. It is in subject line
Sincerely

By John Leming on Sunday, April 15, 2007 - 09:29 pm:I also would like some info and cant seem to see it anywhere. What is the difference with R.V. Anderson and the Watts clutch advertized in the suppliers links. I just ordered one from John Watts. So Im concerned now - is this one going to have an acceptable spring??
By Jim Weir on Sunday, April 15, 2007 - 11:10 pm:John; I just installed a Watts clutch in my TT and when it was set up with a 2" spring length, it was iffy. Talking with Watts he suggested I turn the adjusting screws another half or full turn.
After turning in a turn the clutch is fine.
Sincerely
Jim Weir
By R.V. Anderson on Monday, April 16, 2007 - 08:49 am:The difference with "my" Watts clutch is that I sell it in kit form for convenience and a bit of savings. The kit comes with the clutch pack, the proper spring, and a machined T-3336 push ring (the 3 pins on the ring must be evenly shortened about 3/16" due to the extra thickness of the Watts clutch pack. I do this by surface grinding the ends). Complete directions are also included.
By Richard Gould on Monday, April 16, 2007 - 09:34 am:I think you mean 3/32", correct? That's what my instructions say, but mine are an old set.
By R.V. Anderson on Monday, April 16, 2007 - 11:56 am:The pins need to measure just about 0.900" after shortening, measuring from the bottom surface of the ring.
