Creepy clutch

[mofoka]

Before shee wanted to move forward with the clutch pulled in and I couldn't find neutral unless the engine was off.

 

I've adjusted the clutch and it is much better. Now it isn't moving much but I can still fell the clutch grabbing and I can find neutral about 3 times a day.

 

So far so good, but it still doesn't feel propper to me. My big concern is that it doesn't fully disengage and I don't want to adjust it so much that it starts slipping.

 

I'm thinking that I need to replace the inner/outer hubs or something.

 

Any suggestions?

did you do a thorough inspection of all the components while you were in there?

you may have not adjusted it right. did you adjust the cable at the lever also?

Yep, take it apart and inspect the hubs. The basket or outer hub is the most suspect. DO NOT grind on it to flatten things out. Replace it if worn. Many times the plates will have rounded faces on the contact points and this will accelerate wear. In this case, you need to replace the friction plates as well. The steels last much longer.

I didn't disasemble the clutch. I checked the basket for wear and adjusted the lever by feeling where it touched and then backed off approx. 1/4 turn. The arrow on the arm is about a third of an inch past the case arrow.

 

Everything looked decent. The plates and fibres looked in good working condition too.

So what is it that I'm looking for? I didn't take off the pressure plates but I pulled the clutch in and went through each plate and fibre. They all looked even and no discoloration.

 

The guy who sold it to me said the clutch was just done. I'm guessing they just replaced the fibres and steels.

 

How do you suggest that I inspect the clutch.

 

Could it be another issue besides the pressure plates? I'm going to instal a pancake bearing and would like to do this all at once.
