KaosBanshee44 Posted February 9, 2010 Report Posted February 9, 2010 So the lever won't move to disengage the clutch? Quote
mud91 Posted February 9, 2010 Author Report Posted February 9, 2010 (edited) So the lever won't move to disengage the clutch? no it won't move at all. thinks its called push lever assembly, connects to the push rod. Edited February 9, 2010 by mud91 Quote

bansheesandrider Posted February 9, 2010 Report Posted February 9, 2010 If the clutch arm on top of the cases won't move, either you are not strong enough to overcome the springs in the clutch or you have welded the ball to the pushrod and probably the shaft also. Time to pull the clutch cover and pressure plate and inspect thimgs. Quote

jbooker82 Posted February 10, 2010 Report Posted February 10, 2010 Did you ride or coast with the clutch pulled in for a while? That is what usually does it. Quote

bansheesandrider Posted February 10, 2010 Report Posted February 10, 2010 (edited) not strong enough..funny..do the cases have to be split for this job? after searching i'm guessing the pushrod It depends, you should be able to remove the clutch cover after draining the coolant and tranny oil. You can then remove the pressure plate by removing the 6 screws that hold the springs. Then if everything is OK you can pull the ball and pushrod out with a magnet. If the ball or pushrod has stuck itself to the transmission shaft, you may have to split the cases to drive them out and/or replace the shaft. You could try unhooking the cable from the arm and pushing the arm back away from the direction the cable pulls it, then, using a punch small enough to fit inside the shaft, see if you can knock the ball loose and pull it out with a magnet, just don't get to wild and drive it out the wrong side of the case or damage the arm.

firebanshee Posted February 11, 2010 Report Posted February 11, 2010 Might as well upgrade to a pancake bearing while you are in there. Quote
