WD40 on dry clutch plates !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[lewis1962]

I have managed to get wd40 onto my clutch plates.

Hence, the clutch is slipping !!!!

Can i clean them with brake cleaner or will the friction material be contaminated no matter what ?

Recommendations, please ?

Try giving them a good soaking and rinsing in brake/clutch cleaner or lighter fluid and see if it fixes it.

you could also try baking them in the oven - not too hot, to bake out the oils

Try layering them in a container with cat litter for a few days, it's very absorbent.

Meths would be a good cleaner in this case .....

I used Paraffin or petrol to clean mine up.

Thanks for your replies !!!
I took all the plates out and cleaned them with brake cleaner, thought i try this first.

Took it out for a spin and everthing was fine !!!!

Cheers !!
