[Jukebox-list] Re: LPC 480 mech

Thanks! Not sure if the later ones will work with the LPC, unless it's easy to swap that spring over.

Below is what Mr Ron Rich told me -

"Clutch ASSEMBLIES, were made in three versions. Different top gear for the pre 201's, and different gearing for the 45 "native" verses the 33 native models (LPC's--APFEA1). and different spacers" used in them too"

Does that help?  So I think your options are either find a 33 clutch or convert to 45 and ditch the auto speed unit.

OK, from the top. I have an LPC with a bad worm gear above the
clutch. The gear it turns in the mech is in good condition. I went
to swap in another clutch assembly but the top gears don't match up.
My "replacement" clutch top gear has finer teeth. Can I swap just
the top gear from one to the other? Or is there anything else that
is different? Did they only use 2 type clutch gears or is there more
that don't match up? Are the clutches with the finer teeth newer or
older. (I don't know what my replacement came out of) I'd just dig
for a different clutch from a pile, but it's hard to reach right
now. I didn't really look at how easy or hard it would be to swap
gears, so maybe I will have to dig for my other clutches. On
