Yes, the cork. A clutch with just part of the lining worn off tends to grab and shudder when engaging. There was a post on here several months ago about someone replacing just the lining, if you can find it. Tomos does not sell this stuff, and I don't know where they got it from. I also don't know if they ever made it work, or what they glued it on with. For $200, if it runs, and is not completely trashed, it's kind of hard to go wrong. Even if you had to replace both clutches with new ones it would still be a good deal. The thing to watch out for, is if someone who had no idea what they were doing worked on the engine. Leaving out shims, spacers, etc. when assembling an engine can do a lot of damage. I'd also check it over good for crash damage. A bent frame would make it practically worthless. Peace. Jerry.
