rangerboy40mm Posted January 12, 2009 Report Posted January 12, 2009 I need help my 01 shee has a problem going from neutral to first usually has to have a lot of gas to get moving without stalling. and once im riding getting back into neutral is almost imposable. but however if my shee has been idleing for a period of time and is warmed up it seems to do better???? any suggestions i have replaced the clutch cable and it just seems like the clutch is not locking into gear or just has one hell of a hard time doing it? any help is good, anything to get my shee back to tip top shape winter is almost over..............

dajogejr Posted January 12, 2009 Report Posted January 12, 2009 Get a clymers, first thing to do is make sure you're allowing a little bit of slack at the perch. Then make sure your clutch is in good working order and not smoked, then check the eccentric adjuster for your shifter. A clymers will explain all this in detail. The cable is the only thing you can do without taking the side cover off... Quote
rangerboy40mm Posted January 12, 2009 Author Report Posted January 12, 2009 actually im downloading the service manual from a site i found here.. that should do the same trick... Quote
AKheathen Posted January 13, 2009 Report Posted January 13, 2009 it sounds like you are in a below freezing climate, in which casse, this would be normal. below zero, my clutch plates will not even release untill i get it started and running for a min. this made it difficult to pullstart at 7 below. would also make it lean in cold temps. i usually heat up the case to start it bacause the kickstart wont always catch. after it warms up, everything works perfect. if everythin works good once the oil gets over 40-50 degrees, i wouldn't worry about anything mechanical, and look into oil to suit your needs. and make sure you're jetted right before you go riddin.

We ride on the ice in COLD temps, have never had clutch issues and kick start issues like you mentioned. Quote
rangerboy40mm Posted January 14, 2009 Author Report Posted January 14, 2009 yeah i live in maine so right now in this season it is extreemely hard to kick start i also have to warm up the case to kick it over also heat the spark plugs up? but the clutch issues were happening way before the snow or the cold weather actually had come.... so im pretty sure that the clutch has to be adj.

What oil and weight are you using? Quote
fastrthnu Posted January 14, 2009 Report Posted January 14, 2009 could it just be the plates are sticking together? either from wear or oil condition. Quote
rangerboy40mm Posted January 14, 2009 Author Report Posted January 14, 2009 im using bel ray gear saver hypoid gear oil 80w-90. if anybody has any other suggestions on a better brand that would work. when i bought the shee i instantly changed the oil. but after the winter i wouldnt mind changing it again??? Quote
harbinger of death Posted January 14, 2009 Report Posted January 14, 2009 you use 80-90 oil in you tranny? who told you to do that ? 10-30 or 5-30 if its really cold and no synthetic cause it will make your clutch slip Quote
fastrthnu Posted January 14, 2009 Report Posted January 14, 2009 you use 80-90 oil in you tranny? who told you to do that ? 10-30 or 5-30 if its really cold and no synthetic cause it will make your clutch slip uhm. 10-30 sucks for one, and whats wrong with the bel ray hes using? please explain.....

Snopczynski Posted January 14, 2009 Report Posted January 14, 2009 That oil should work ok. You may have a misadjusted shift shaft fork, or a slightly bent shift shaft. I think either way the cover may need to come off. How often do you change the oil? Quote
rangerboy40mm Posted January 15, 2009 Author Report Posted January 15, 2009 only once in the past 5 months i have owned the shee. and yeah im pretty sure the bel ray is a good fluid to use and who ever said synthetic is bad if anything its better. anyway if there is something better out there to use maby i should use that.. also i have never adj the clutch only replaced the clutch cable thinking of course that might be the solution to the problem i was having. but still im having difficulties shifting from neutral into first. im thinking now after reading the service manual that the clutch has to be adj. so looks like im gonna have to take off the cover. and potential problems i may run into?? also are the impellers for the water pump plastic? mine seems to be broken or something it makes a hell of a clicking sound? in any case im giving one hell of a tune up to the shee this spring befor riding season...............

harbinger of death Posted January 15, 2009 Report Posted January 15, 2009 I cant remember where i read that synthetic causes clutch slippage, but i did see it. I bought a 2003 that the guy ran synthetic in it and the clutch was smoked. as for 10-30 thats what my service manual says to use and my 93 is still going strong. I replaced the diff cover on my truck a month ago and had to squeeze the 80-90 out of the bottle at 10 degree temp. Im not saying im right or youre wrong, just trying to help Quote
rangerboy40mm Posted January 15, 2009 Author Report Posted January 15, 2009 oh no man thats cool understandable any help is good help and your prob right....that shit is thick hahaha the whole thing just has me in a head spin im gonna rip it apart and see what i see maby the clutch is smoked but i do know i have never adj it and im pretty sure the prev owner never did either. so im hoping it will work. anybody know anything about the impeller on the water pump ticking???
