Hydraulic Clutch question- Guzziladen?
« on: July 24, 2015, 12:47:13 PM »
Can anyone identify the type of  hydraulic clutch kit this is?  It came already installed on my 850 LeMans III.  Is it the Guzziladen?  The fitting slides into the transmission case and is held in by an adaptor plate that has two bolts.  The plate traps the fitting to prevent it sliding back out when pressure is applied.  I also wonder what the correct O-Ring size is.  I measured the one that came with it but that was probably a replacement too.

Hi there!

Your pics aren't showing.  It helps to do a 'preview' before posting pics.  (it helps to do a preview anyway because the autospellchecker often helps itself to interesting "corrections".)

With the pics someone should be along shortly to do the ID.

Photos show if you click on the links he supplied. I've never seen a hydraulic clutch slave like that.

Based on the hold down clamp,it might be home made.

Thanks guys,
I especially appreciate the pic of the Guzziladen.  Charlie had mentioned using an X Ring instead of the O Ring since the only problem with it is a slight ooze around the seal.  But XRing only comes in BunaN which will not hold up to DOT 3-4.  So I am considering changing to 5W fork oil and using the xring.  That or trying to get the stock parts for the linkage and rod and then the other type of hydraulic actuator.  Or should I just go back to stock w cable.  Thoughts?

Hmm.  I'm seeing x-rings (quad rings) inn nitrile and Viton as well.  Maybe poking around on this site will help:

I got some bunaN-centered crush washers with a master cyl I ordered.  They did not last long with DOT3/4.  The m/c poop sheet said it was a DOT3/4-compliant pump.

I wonder if ATF might be compatible?

From this perspective, it's looks like someone may have cut off the portion of the transmission cover where the original lever pivots.



Should look like this:

Yup, the lever pivots are gone.  Does the Guzziladen actuator holder plate screw into the threaded hole of the tranny cover?  Maybe that would be the best fix.  It looks like it is still available from Radical Guzzi.

Looks to me like it also utilizes the pivot holes for the L-shaped bracket.
