Clutch push rod,what's this?

[stoney1254]

Hi all, anybody know what this is?

Pulled the front sprocket cover off and the clutch push rod came out with it and couldn't pull it out. Removed the plate over the slave cylinder to find this on the push rod, some kind of disk with a magnetic plate on it. I've searched fiche drawings for oil cooled engines and cant find anything resembling it.

Any ideas?

What engine is it from.

1990 1100L

Push rod length correct at 101.5mm but dont know what the disk is, I'm sure it's not needed?

[clivegto]

Don't know my 1100L don't have one.

As its magnetic I did wonder if a previous owner had fitted to collect any metal filings to protect the seal on the slave cylinder? 

So your pushrod goes straight from the engine, through the thin metal plate into the slave cylinder?

[clivegto]

Yes, never seen one that doesn't.

That's what I thought, thanks for confirming.
