yesterday out for a little ride, sudden loss of clutch, no more drive...
Took of the sidecasing yesterday and the clutch had come apart.
I'm putting it back together this evening, with a new securing ring, but would I need a new spider as well...?
Standard clutch with 4 plates and 10 springs (5 strenghtened springs and 5 Vespa clutch springs).
Ran this set up for over a year and despite being fairly stiff on the hands, it hasn't given me any problems before...
The amazing exploding Lambretta Clutch...

Life shouldn't be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty, well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, loudly proclaiming: "WOW, WHAT A RIDE"

Check the grooves on the spider but the additional pressure from the springs will transfer to the clip and sometimes they pop off, fit a new clip and make sure it's seated correctly.
Turn On, Tune In, Cop out!
the big circlip from scootrs is superb its thicker across the diameter and has a very small gap on the ends when fitted
