Bentley - Clutch Jagger.

It is possible that the driven plate is too tight on the splines, causing it to bind during take up. Will you please measure the clearance on B-56-BN. {W.O. Bentley / Mr Barrington}

We should also like to know whether the oil flinger on the plate you are removing is showing any signs of working loose.
