87sheerips Posted October 27, 2008 Report Posted October 27, 2008 If you have a stock "pusher" Loosen the 12mm nut that has the phillips head screw in the middle. Tighten/loosen the phillips head screw until the clutch arm nipple (on top of the case that moves with the clutch cable) lines up with the arrow on the case. From there, any final tweaks can be made at your clutch perch. Hope that helped! -JD Quote
POORBOY350 Posted October 27, 2008 Author Report Posted October 27, 2008 thanks that helps it must have stock ''pusher'' cause it is a 12mm and an allen head in the middle so you dont have to take the lockout device off? Quote
dragbanshee Posted October 27, 2008 Report Posted October 27, 2008 Just loosen it enough to turn the screw untill that arm lines up with the arrow on top of your case where clutch cable hooks to. Quote
POORBOY350 Posted October 27, 2008 Author Report Posted October 27, 2008 IT has the 12mm nut with a allen head screw inside of it. and it is in the center of the clutch on a rod deal. but the whole like center deal is moving freely but the rod thing has 2 flat sides to put a wrench on but my question is do you have to take lockout device loose or leave it tight?

POORBOY350 Posted October 27, 2008 Author Report Posted October 27, 2008 i dont see an arrow on the case :shoothead: there is one on the part that moves itself. dont see one anywhere on the case tho. thanks for all the help tho ... i am a sponge!!! ha ha soaking it up! :woot: jk thats the red bulls talking Quote
POORBOY350 Posted October 27, 2008 Author Report Posted October 27, 2008 ok the thing in the middle is loose til i get some tenson on the clutch then it tightens up. i didnt think it'd be a good idea to pull clutch tight to try to break the nut loose. how do yal get it loose? when the whole thing is moving Quote
2001Stroker Posted October 27, 2008 Report Posted October 27, 2008 Don't pay attention to those arrows. If I remember correctly, you tighten it until it touches, then back off a 1/4 turn. Those arrows are for stock, non-worn out applications only. You can search it on here to make sure, or wait til someone agrees with me or corrects me. Sorry, I just woke up, and I'm still really groggy. Quote
POORBOY350 Posted October 27, 2008 Author Report Posted October 27, 2008 thanks im not too worried abotu the arrows im gonna get it right with the lever get it tight then back it off to clear the pressure plate. your right about that. Quote
POORBOY350 Posted October 27, 2008 Author Report Posted October 27, 2008 How do you get the nut off?? Quote
Hilarious Posted October 27, 2008 Report Posted October 27, 2008 How do you get the nut off?? i had to remove my lockout, springs, ect... and pressure plate so i could adjust it. it is not hard to do, just time consuming. :thumbsup: Quote
POORBOY350 Posted October 27, 2008 Author Report Posted October 27, 2008 hillarious. where ya been man. thanks! so when you pull lockout device off and adjust it it doesnt effect the adjustment? since there arent any springs holding it back? just adjust it without springs and go with it? Quote
POORBOY350 Posted October 27, 2008 Author Report Posted October 27, 2008 OK.. why would there be 2 diff kind of springs in there? looks like 3 heavy duty springs and 3 regulars its causing one side of the clutch to disengage before the other side? wtf! ? Quote
KaosBanshee44 Posted October 27, 2008 Report Posted October 27, 2008 If i were you i would definitly look into getting a aftermarket pancake pusher that replaces the stock pusher. You don't want that rod welding to the ball then your looking at breaking the whole motor down just to get it out. Quote
