Often with the 2-cylinder Maxwell transmission the high speed clutch pressure plate will be worn to the point of very little clutch adjustment is left to prevent slipping in high gear. The second common problem is the three spring tabs are broken and missing. These spring tabs are important, as they help pull the pressure plate away from the clutch pack when the car is removed from high gear and put into neutral.

I provide a rebuilding service to renew the pressure plate assembly closer to original thickness. I begin by disassembly of the pressure plate assembly and degrease/clean all components. I then resurface the bronze pressure plate, and add thickness between the bronze and hard steel plates to bring the total assembly thickness back to near original thickness. Rivet heads are counterbored in the bronze. I also manufacture and install new spring tabs and rivet the entire assembly back together, ready for you to reinstall in your car.

Contact me to discuss and arrange for this service.
