Cascade Pancake Bearing?

[TRO73]

I just installed a cascade pancake bearing the other day and before I pit it back together just want to make sure that this looks right. The end where you adjust it sticks out far enough that the flat spots are past the outer hub so if you put a wrench on it you can turn it....not sur if this was right and there is not suppose to be some washer on the outside.

npoe thats right, it should have come with two washers, one goes on each side of the bearing and then it slides through the pressure plate like u have it.

man i just put one of them in tonight and i cant figure them out either. I put mine in just like you have pictured and when I put everything back together my clutch slipped like mad. so I tore it all back apart to make sure everything was how it was supposed to be and everything looked fine I had it adjusted correctly with the arrow on the case. SO i put my stock adjuster in and clutch works fine. not trying to jack your thread just wondering if we can kill two birds with one stone here.

you can not always relay on the arrows to mean your clutch is properly adjusted. the arrows are nothing more then a guide. on my motor i disregard the arrows all together. I leave the springs and screws all the way of the clutch and hold the pressure plate by hand. turn the pancake screw until i feel it hit the rod/ball and then back it off 1/4 turn and bolt everything back up. if i were to go by my arrows my clutch would fall apart

when you do your clutch adjusting do you first screw the adjuster all the way in on the clutch lever? also why do you think it works fine with the stock adjuster and not the pancake? Just stumps me thats all.

[Bansh-eman]

your lever should be turned all the way in, that way as your clutch plates wear and your cable stretches you can adjust it at the lever.

 

It works with the stocker because the length of the set screw probly. trust me i run the exact same pancake, the cascade is made by packard racing. it works, you just didnt have it adjusted right, even though the arrows said it was

awesome i appreciate the help i will just do like you said take the clutch spring off and hold the plate by hand until i fell the set screw hit the ball and then go about a 1/4 turn more and then should be good to go.

happenned to me once too, it ended up being my clutch hub and pressure plate that where worn out. As it wears, the clutch assy get thinner and thinner. the bearing assy on the cascade adjuster is a lot thicker than the shoulder on the stock adjuster and it interfere between the pressure plate and the hub which keeps the clutch from closing all the way. pressure plates are cheap. replace it.
