Ducati Wet Clutch Manual

The document provides instructions for overhauling a clutch assembly, including checking clutch plates for wear, measuring plate thickness, inspecting the pressure plate, measuring pressure plate springs, and reassembling the clutch plates in the correct order. Key steps are to ensure clutch plate thickness is at least 2.6mm, total plate pack thickness is at least 46.1mm, and pressure plate springs measure at least 41mm. The clutch is then reassembled in a specific order of friction and plain plates.

Clutch assembly: clutch

Overhaul of the clutch plates


The clutch plates must not show any signs of blackening, grooves or deformation.
Measure the thickness of the friction plates. It should not be less than 2.6 mm.

Important
The total thickness of the clutch plate pack must not be less than 46.1 mm.

Place the plate on a flat surface and check the amount of deformation with a feeler gauge.
Max flatness error: 0.2 mm.

Overhaul of the pressure plate


Check the condition of bearing (5): renew the bearing if the play is excessive.
Check the contact surface of last plain steel plate. If extremely scored, polish it in the same manner as described
previously for the cylinder head surface (Sect. N 4.5, Overhaul of cylinder head components).

Check the condition of spring guide cups (G) and of thepressure plate (4); at each overhaul always renew spring
retainer collars (2).

Overhauling the pressure plate springs


Measure the length “L” of each spring (3):
minimum length: 41 mm.
Renew any springs that are shorter than the above limit value.

Reassembly of the clutch


Fit the spacer (13) on the gearbox input shaft: the spacer (13) must be centred relative to the axis of the gearbox
input shaft.

Fit the clutch centre (12) and onto the latter fit the flat ring (11) and the Belleville washer (10), so that the convex
side faces the clutch centre.

Locate the Belleville washer (8).

Apply the prescribed grease to the thread of the gearbox input shaft and the mating surface of nut (7), and fit it over
Belleville washer (8).

Restrain the clutch centre using service tool no. 88713.2651, insert the socket (D) in the tool and tighten the locking
nut (7) to the specified torque (Sect. C.3, Engine torque settings).

Install the clutch plates (9) in the following order:


- one friction plate (H) with 48 square tangs;
a series of three plain plates (I) thickness 1.6 mm, alternated with three friction plates (L) with 40 rectangular
-
tangs;
- a series of four plain plates (M) thickness 2 mm, alternated with four friction plates (L) with 40 rectangular tangs;
- a series of two plain plates (I) thickness 1.6 mm, alternated with two friction plates (L) with 40 rectangular tangs;
- one plain plate (I), 1.6 mm thick;
- one friction plate (N) with 48 rectangular tangs.

Lubricate the hole in the gearbox input shaft with engine oil.
Fit the clutch lifter (6) in the bearing (5) in the gearbox input shaft.
