The Clutch kit includes Clutch Plate, Pressure Plate, Clutch Fly Wheel, Release bearing, Clutch Master Cylinder, Slave Cylinder etc.

The SnowMan reincarnated

After the recent deliberate attempt of the Off-Road 'MUD'venture, I inevitably had to take the 'The Snowman' to Nitin, an FNG owner in Sangli as an urgency.

  • Work in progress-

Eventually 'The Snowman' had to undergo major maintenance work at 1.21L kms in the Odo at this time,

Complete Clutch kit overhaul

The Clutch kit includes-

  • Clutch Plate,
  • Pressure Plate,
  • Clutch Fly Wheel,
  • Release bearing,
  • Clutch Master Cylinder,
  • Slave Cylinder etc.

Then the Luk branded new Clutch kit was ordered as the inspection revealed the previous kit being Luk. Only the Clutch master cylinder from SACHS was installed as the last entrant.

  • GB opened and parts removed-

  • Old Clutch Flywheel-

  • Burnt Clutch -

  • New Clutch kit-

  • GB after cleaning-

  • Clutch Master Cylinder -

The major change I noticed instantly was the smooth ride, absolutely a 'Makhkhan wali' feeling.

With a gentle tap on the gas pedal, it now starts cruising at 60 kmph in the 6th gear with just 1k RPM in the MFD. And with the RPM reading at 1200, the Yeti responds to 70kmph quite effortlessly.
So smooth.

Obviously, I couldn't wait to hit the road for a long drive with the rejuvenated GB and hence took The Snow Man to the nearby sacred hill temple Jotiba for a test drive.

No wonder, 'The SnowMan' has become a totally different creature now and it was just an effortless driving experience all along the hill terrain..

Obviously being a happy owner, this entire saga has become a good reason for grinning like a Cheshire cat for me.

Cheers
