IamScotticus Posted August 11 Share Posted August 11 1600 X-flow, 80s uprated AX. 7.5" clutch. I am looking to get a fresh clutch cover, or pressure plate. I understand (it took a long time to learn this) cable operated and hydraulic operated clutch require different clutch covers. Or more specifically, the release bearings do. The cable clutch will typically have a flat faced release bearing on curly spring fingers or platen topped fingers, and the hydraulic will have a donut faced bearing on flat faced fingers. Mixing these should be avoided, but staying with cable, I have the two options, curly finger or platen. Which is better?

MV8 Posted August 11 Share Posted August 11 Without platen is the better performance design. Cable and hydraulic can have either PP type. The release bearing, spacer if needed and appropriate height carrier must match the PP design. The fork for cable and hydraulic are the same on the release bearing end. The platen type is the older design that is heavier with more inertial and more expensive to make, and requires a rounded/donut faced release bearing.
