Just saw this on tbay, what in the world is it and how does it work. Must be magic if it will fix a slipping clutch that has no adjustment left..............

I hope they supply instructions with it. Just from the pictures, looks like 'snake oil' to me.Jim Eubanks wrote: ↑Sun Jan 24, 2021 10:29 amJust saw this on tbay, what in the world is it and how does it work. Must be magic if it will fix a slipping clutch that has no adjustment left..............

Re: Model T Ranch #1075 Slipping clutch fix kit
So it would appear to be a “spacer” that can be installed to increase the spring pressure.
Perhaps I’m not understanding it correctly though.

If it is snake oil, it has been around for a while. Sometimes it is worth reading that catalogs to know what is out there.

Re: Model T Ranch #1075 Slipping clutch fix kit
Makes sense it would work. Adding a shim ‘so to speak’ to add tension to the spring.
Beats having to going through the hassle of changing the spring.

I'd be scared to death that gadget would come loose and make all kinds of trouble.
