An improved clutch basket assembly is disclosed. The improved clutch basket assembly provides improved wear resistance at the interfaces between friction discs and a clutch basket housing while allowing an operator to have improved clutch lever control and modulation when manually engaging or disengaging the clutch system. The improved clutch basket assembly includes a generally cylindrical clutch basket having a sidewall, a closed first end and an open second end. A plurality of removable pins is attached to the sidewall. A plurality of frictions disks is mounted in said clutch basket. The friction disks each have a plurality of positioning tabs extending out from a periphery of each of the friction disks. The positioning tabs are configured for engagement with at least one adjacent removable pin removably attached to the sidewall.

Clutch basket assembly

An improved master cylinder for use with a hydraulic clutch or hydraulic brake system. The master cylinder has a master cylinder body defining a bore. A piston is configured to slide in the bore when an actuation lever is compressed by a user. Sliding of the piston as a result of the depression of the lever causes the piston to depress a spring and to increase hydraulic pressure in the hydraulic line leading to the brake or clutch. A spring is configured to return the piston when pressure is released from the actuation lever. The master cylinder body in some embodiments is configured for lateral position adjustment relative to a mounting bracket. In some embodiments the master cylinder has a reservoir. The reservoir can be oriented at a tilted angle relative to the body of the master cylinder. In further embodiments the master cylinder has an outlet nut that is configured for attachment to the hydraulic line. The outlet nut is configured such that removal of the outlet nut allows for access to the bore, including the spring and piston.

An improved adjuster for a clutch having an expanding friction disk. The improved adjuster allows desirable characteristics of a clutch pressure plate to be maintained while allowing an operator to bias the pressure plate into proper position to accommodate the function of the expanding friction disk.

An improved clutch hub assembly is disclosed. The improved clutch hub assembly provides improved wear resistance at the interfaces between separator plates and a clutch hub while allowing an operator to have improved clutch lever control and modulation when manually engaging or disengaging the clutch system.

An improved clutch pack is disclosed. The clutch pack incorporates liners, improved driving friction disks and driven disks where the thickness of the improved driving friction disks and driven disks are selected in order to allow more driving friction disks and more driven disks to be used within the improved clutch pack while maintaining approximately the same overall height as compared to the standard clutch pack the vehicles clutch system was designed for.

Clutch pack with wear liners

An improved expanding friction disk for use in a clutch of a power transmission system. The improved expanding friction disk accommodates multiple clutch pack configurations including clutch packs utilizing novel improved friction disks, is compatible with wear liners and operates with reduced friction including a reduced difference between the static and dynamic coefficients of friction in the ramp mechanism.

Expanding friction disk configurable to be compatible with wear liners and improved friction disks

An improved friction plate is disclosed. The friction plate incorporates friction pads having substantially V Shaped Grooves having an angle offset to the axis of rotation to improve oil flow characteristics to the center of the friction plate to reduce parasitic drag when the clutch system is in a disengaged state. The improved friction pad design optionally incorporates a V shaped groove extending to the tab portion of the friction plate to improve the capture of oil as the friction plate rotates through an oil bath.

Friction plate design for multi-plate wet friction clutch

A novel adjustable slave cylinder is disclosed. The improved slave cylinder is particularly well suited for use with a clutch incorporating an expanding friction disk. The adjustable slave cylinder provides a means for adjusting a clutch pressure plate's position via an adjustment mechanism external to the inside of an engine.
