OK to reuse Clutch witch has been contaminated with oil ?

[R1CH]

Due to a leaky crank oil seal the clutch in my LET is contaminated with oil (not much i don't think ?) its brand new and covered about 30 miles, i know the flywheel & cover assembly will clean up ok but was wondering about the friction plate, will this clean up or will i need to replace it (hope not) ?

Cheers, Rich

warm it up (a lot) with a blow torch :D

Was thinking of that, do it a bit on disc brake pads at work & there always ok even if there absolutly covered !!, but wasn't too sure on a clutch.
Don't really wanna fork out on another clutch (can you get the discs seperatly ?) and don't wanna have to take it to bits again if its still slipping !!
:mad:

you can usually get the friction disc seperately.. esp if its something like an AP etc.

Got the clutch kit from AutoSprint in Birmingham, cost me ?230 so can see the friction plate costing ?100+ ?
Might just try & clean it up, maybe not ideal but it'll save me a bit off cash if it works, would rather waste an afternoon swapping clutchs than ?100 !!

I would say just slip the clutch a lot untill its all worn off the surface:)

Would a degreaser such as trichloroethylene damage it?

Soak in coca-cola over night and it'll be fine! Did that on a paddle clutch in the past and was then spot on!

Trichloroethylene (http://www.atsdr.cdc.gov/tfacts19.html)

Its a very good solvent, but hazardous to your health.
