CLUTCH
The clutch is of the single plate type, having a plate with frictional surfaces,
which is driven by friction from the rear face of the steel flywheel and the
forward face of the drop forged steel pressure plate. The frictional fac-
ing in Terraplane clutches is pliable
formed cork and lubricated to give a
maximum degree of smoothness in en-
gagement.
Due to the film of lubricant on the
frictional surfaces, burning is pre-
vented and wear is negligible. The
frictional surface is always protected
and maintained in proper condition by
the bath of Hudsonite Clutch Com-
pound, so that even after thousands of
miles of usage there will be no mate-
rial change in the characteristics.
Lubrication
The throwout bearing is a heavy
duty ball bearing provided with posi-
tive lubrication through a pressure fit-
ting located on the right side of the
clutch bell housing. This should be
lubricated with one ounce of light vis-
cous grease every one thousand miles.
The Hudsonite Clutch Com-
pound is permanently sealed into the
clutch housing to prevent loss. It should be drained and replaced every five to
fifteen thousand miles.
To insert the Hudsonite, turn the engine until the drain plug (A), Figure 7, in
the front face of the flywheel is visible through the timing inspection hole in
the left side of the rear engine plate.
Remove the plug (A) and turn the
engine slowly until the star stamped
in the front of the flywheel is visible
through the inspection hole. Allow a
minute in this position to permit the
clutch housing to drain, then turn the
engine until the filler hole again ap-
pears in the timing hole and insert
one-third pint of Hudsonite. Replace
the plug and tighten securely. Hud-
sonite is available through all Terra-
plane and Hudson Distributors and
Dealers.
