Hello everyone,
I have a 2005 ST3, UK model.
I'm getting clunky gear changes, trouble finding neutral, and the occasional false neutral so I decided to take a look at the clutch. I took all the plates out to see if the basket fingers were notched, and holding on to the plates when the clutch was released. Then I made a beginners mistake and muddled up the plates (in my defence I was showing my 12y.o. how the clutch worked!). I have downloaded the ST3 factory workshop manual and this shows a different clutch (and side cover) to mine.
I have 5 clutch springs, 11 friction plates, and 10 driven plates, of which 4 are thick and 6 are thin. The inner most friction plate has a larger internal diameter to allow for two dished washers. Overall they match this picture: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/281785115809, not the photos of most ST3 clutches on ebay. FWIW the factory manual shows a clutch with 6 springs, 9 driven plates and 7 friction plates.
I also have STST3_Eu_2005.pdf, the spare parts catalogue, and this *does* show my clutch.
Can anyone tell me the order for the plates in this clutch design?
Or better still, which model workshop manual to download?
Many thanks!
Matt.
