engine; (nearly always a good idea IHHO).................................

Not all of them. Ask Terry Sanders what he has in his TA. :)

Hey!! Charles are you trying to blow my cover? ;-)

All TA's had wet clutches.....my SA 1513 has a wet clutch but shortly after this, the factory went to a dry clutch....while these two models were in concourent production, they did not go to dry clutches on the TA. Confirmed in the parts manual and Clausenger

Hi Terry,

Is there an easy way to tell if it is a wet or dry clutch? SA2333 has the engine out and the gearbox removed. It is very difficult to gain access to the clutch assy or remove it, it appears to be rebuilt, and if it is a dry clutch, I know it works because I used it to help free up the engine just a bit.

Would it appear externally the same as a xpag dry clutch? The easy way would be to look at the instruction manual I suppose.

Cheers, Lee Jacobsen, SA2333 tickford.

Lee the wet clutch disc has cork plugs in it, the dry clutch has a continuous
asbestos ring on either side
