Thought I'd give an update.?
So I got the alternative clutches, and tried one in the RA. Hard to tell if it's better or worse since I accidentally dabbed some lube on the pad, and it's not plastic, so I don't know if I was able to clean it -- Doh!?
Either way I was able to guide pretty well last night. I think that I need to tighten the RA more with the different clutch (lubricated clutch that is...).?
I just took a look at the DEC clutch, and lube has definitely gotten to that one without my help. I'll clean it up and see how that works. I also got a 1/4" torque wrench, just to see if I can detect any better or worse guiding with different tightness of the clutch.?
Just finished cleaning it up, and wow, what a difference. With a fairly lightly tightened clutch it used to take about 25 inch lb to start it turning, then about 12 inch lb to maintain a motion. Now with it not as tight, it takes about 20 inch lb to start it, and 20 inch lb to maintain a motion. Let's see if it makes a difference in guiding.?
