Ordinarily I wouldn't dream of disassembling my mech but after seeing this I feel confident enough to tackle it. Great clear and easy to follow video cheers Doddy

People please note that when Doddy reveals the internal parts, the adjuster (left part of the two-parts clutch assembly, featuring the tension adjusting screw) appears mounted backwards. It is an asymetrical piece, with kind of a holed "plate" on one side, which must align and sit on a plastic recess in the clutch casing. That prevents the adjuster from moving laterally when fiddling with the tension lever, and allegedly makes for a better operation. When mounted backwards, one should not be able to close the casing… unless forcing, which appears to have been the case here, and would lead to improper sealing, premature wear (it’s a plastic casing) or even damaging/breaking the clutch assembly itself. Doddy eventually mounts the adjuster the correct way, although he probably had not noticed the issue ;)

It's interesting from a technical point of view. I watched it over brunch. If there are no SRAM videos, then this video might give an idea of how to service one. Although one needs to be aware that they are different manufacturers and so they may need to serviced differently. So perhaps a bit of reverse engineering using this video. ☺️

Though I'm not sure what, all together some wear and tear makes it stops being a spring in favor of being a static piece of metal, leaving my chain hang loose. I learned a lot though and now I know how to maintenance this and make the next one last much longer.

Brilliant Instructional Video. This enabled me to sort a 12 speed XT mech from a second hand mtb that I had recently purchased. I thought the clutch was seized up but when I took things apart it was the main pivot and spring that were badly rusted up. I managed to free and clean things up and now everything is working as it should. Thanks Doddy you saved me £80 for a new mech.

Doddy I just did clutch service in the video. The sprague bearing didn't want to just slip on anywheres but seemed to prefer some.atjer section of the inner post. Took forever to get it seated but once on I find that yes the clutch isn't grabbing and then with excess effort breaking free. This was an 11 speed long can&e m8000 sgs. Next I need to to my 12 speed xtr which looks exactly the same as predicted. Used the special Shimano coaster brake grease. When I tore down the 11 speed the inner sprague and it's mount WAS lubed . I dried it off and regressed the outside as.direcres.and.it seems a.world.of.difference.

I'm sure you've solved it now, but when you flick the lever, if it's not adding any tension, try turning the lever off, adding half a turn at a time of adjustment (clockwise) then flipping the lever across again. You should feel some resistance when you flip the lever over, it runs on a little cam system. Just do little bits at a time and you'll be sorted.

Perfect timing Doddy! My XT clutch got stuck a week after you posted this video. Taking mine apart, I noticed water/residue inside the clutch COVER, and went on to notice there is a little RUBBER PORT on the clutch cover (part held by 3x 2mm screws). WHAT the heck is that for? I'd be tempted to shoot a bunch of grease or spray oil in there if I had not noted your video. Should that be opened to allow the mech to dry? It would be easy to shear off too/etc...
@cameronmclennan578

On the XT, the rubber port is where you can ajust the clutch tension from the outside, without having to remove the whole clutch cap. On the SLX, deore etc, you need to remove the whole cover to adjust it. Make sure the port is closed and there's some light grease on it. Also when putting the cover back on in general, I grease the seal.

Hey Doddy, from the manufacture there is a load of grease on the parallelogram spring. After cleaning, how much grease do you put on that spring? I find that since it’s exposed to the elements, it’s a mess due to all that grease.
@peglor

There's no benefit to putting any grease on the parallelogram spring - it doesn't rub on anything and doesn't rust (As far as I have seen). A bit of grease at the pins where the spring mounts is as much as it needs, but that'll be washed off in no time. The torsion spring that rotates the jockey wheel cage can be painted with a little bit of grease as it is sealed away and the spring coils rub on each other as the jockey cage moves.
