Mister T Posted September 7, 2011 Report Posted September 7, 2011 Been having a issue with the washer and clip on the idler gear that lays behind the clutch pack Twice now after taking the clutch cover off, I have found the clip and washer in the bottom of the side case Anyone had similar problems and how did you overcome it ? Do I risk damaging things when that comes off ? Quote
lms1977 Posted September 7, 2011 Report Posted September 7, 2011 I'm pretty sure you need to replace the bushing in the idler gear you can get a steel one and press it in. Quote
DuneBooZeR Posted September 7, 2011 Report Posted September 7, 2011 The clip might be dunzo. Order a new clip, washer, and bushing for it. See if that fixes it. Quote
BigRed350x Posted September 8, 2011 Report Posted September 8, 2011 (edited) Replace your idler gear, the keyed washer, non-keyed washer and c-clip. When the idler gear bushing goes bad they wobble and tear shit up. Hit up Kevin at HJR. He can hook you up with all the parts you need. Edited September 8, 2011 by BigRed350x Quote
Larry's Shee Posted September 8, 2011 Report Posted September 8, 2011 Or you can do like P O did and use a Presidential solution and weld the washer to the shaft N F C how I'll ever fix that properly when the time comes X-2 on proper fix. Quote
locogato11283 Posted September 8, 2011 Report Posted September 8, 2011 You need all new parts for that.. Washer - Bushing - Keyed washer - Clip I wouldn't even rick riding it until it's fixed. That clip and washer can cause major damage if it gets sucked into the clutch basket. Quote
Mister T Posted September 8, 2011 Author Report Posted September 8, 2011 Thanks guys ! Wont be getting put back together until the new parts are in it The first time I found it , I thought well its a clip...shit happens But after putting it on myself and finding it off again....thats too many times for my liking Quote

Do I risk damaging things when that comes off ? When mine came off I had to replace the idler gear, clutch basket,drive gear on crank and the water pump gear. My clip went between the gears and damaged them all, it was making a clicking noise. If your gear is in good shape, I would get a steel bushing from FAST, along with all new washers and snap ring and put it together making sure the snap ring groove on the shaft is in good shape so it will stay on. If the shaft is bad you will either have to weld it on or split the cases and replace the shaft. The latter is the proper way to do it. Quote
