clutch spline washer

[Frankie 2 sheds]

Hi, I am currently doing a complete re-build of a 1976 750K6. Iv'e got to re-newing the clutch. On refitting the clutch housing, the rear housing engages on the main drive with the kick start and you then fit the circlip. You then take the splined washer (25mm) slide it down the splined clutch drive only for the spline to finish and the washer float around on a reduced clutch drive, ref pics attached. Is this correct? I'm not on my own. I've looked at earlier members on the forum asking the same question but with no clear indication as to wether it is correct or not. Hope you "tremendous knowledge guy's" can help........Frank

The washer you have in the picture is not the right washer. The thrust washer you have belongs on the gear shaft. The washer you need is in the picture below

Sorry, missed the K6 part. Yes, that is correct as you have it

Not sure why they changed the washer and put a circlip in the K6, as all the other previous 750's had the washer in my photo and no circlip. I have come across K6 engines with the old type washer. Just make sure that the washer spins in the groove once in place.
