WITHDRAWAL MECHANISM

The clutch operating sleeve has been fouling the inner face of the rear cover G.82600, possibly due to centrifugal force on the operating levers.

All clutch operating levers show indifferent bedding on the pads which have worn a groove in the face of the operating sleeve G.82928.
[Handwritten] Clutch operating levers have had different amounts of wear on the pads.
Wear on the thrust washers is reasonable in view of the mileage covered, the cage G.82922 has been rejected on account of wear in the ball pockets.

ENGINE COUPLING.

Condition good.
