clutch problems

[bansheebarnes]

i was riding today and out of nowhere when i shifted it felt as though i was "speed shifting"...becasue i was. the clutch was not working. the rest of the ride was dumb. i didnt want to ruin all my friends day so i just rode it with out a clutch all day and had to run and put it in gear while moving to get it going every time i stoped.

 

I am unfamiliar with the how the clutch and transmissions work on atvs. under the left carburetor there is a rod that goes into the engine that twists when the lever is pulled. this rod somehow worked its way up and was not down in the engine where it was supposed to be. it looks like it was beaten up a big (dis formed). Is this a major problem? can i buy a new part (whatever this thing is)? do i just drop it in or do i have to tear apart the whole engine?

 

I realize i may not be describing it the best but i am doing my best to let you know whats going on. I will try to get pictures soon to let you see whats really going on. I could ride it with out a clutch the way it is. but i really do not like the whole "speed shifting" idea. plus a clutch would help alot with stoping and taking off witch would be nice for woods riding.

 

thankyou.

pick yourself up a clymer manual. You can get all the parts you will need to fix your problem through cascadeinnovations.net and go to their factory banshee parts list.

There's supposed to be a bracket bolted to the case that holds the clutch pivot down so that doesn't happen.

Exactly
