Don't worry guys... I've annoyed more than just this forum. :cough: college professors/students :cough:
Who knows, maybe my craziness just comes natural. Maybe Savageman is onto something.
I can often be rather talkative in person, and I have a tendency to try to learn by asking people questions. During college, while others were just trying to figure out what was on the test, I would come up with all sorts of questions. Instead of trying to remember all those questions or disregard them, I'd just ask during class.
The cam is not really a cam. It's just an indented push plate on a shaft. Its a lever primarily; it doesn't have much sliding friction.
What I wonder is what on earth that thick plate and steel rings are for. The rings seem counterproductive. Maybe it's to help disengage the clutch and get into gear easily? Why a thick plate?
What would happen if I removed one of those rings? I think the clutch would grip harder. I wonder what else would happen...
Would it be safe
Maybe the front friction plate gets more stress?
