i think i have major clutch issues

[kx450racer15]

first and for most i would like to introduce myself

 

my name is sean im new to this forum and would like to thank everyone for any info

i have been around dirtbikes my whole life and just got a banshee and i think it has a major issue

 

the third time we took it out while you released the clutch you would here a screetching noise while releasing the clutch. then it locked up and it wouldnt go into neutral and would not roll. I tore it apart the cltuch was fried, i ordered a new one and tired to install but something went south

 

as of now i have about a 1/4 of slop in the basket with all of the fibers and steels installed

 

any help would be greatly appriechiated

The pressure plate isn 't lined upstraight. Keep moving it till it slides on.

Did you run trans dry? What all did you replace? Was it all stock? Pre-soak plates?

trans was full of fluid, yes pre soaked plates i just put springs fibers and steels in

 

i got rid of the 1/4 gap but now the last plate is half in the basket and half out

 

and when the clutch engages it can pop out

 

it will roll in neutral but when you ut it in gear the clutch has zero effect

 

thanks

the pressure plate is not engaged into the innerhub correctly, take the bolts and springs out and remove the pressure plate.. spin it alil at a time till the pressure plate engages the hub correctly. there should be no gap between the last fiber and the pressure plate. also make sure to adjust the clutch actuator arm correctly or the clutch will not disengage correctly.

 

if ya dont have one already go get yourself a clymers manual and read up!

Somewhere on this site is a linc to a download manual. You gotta look for it, should be a sticky at the top of a section. I'm an old fart, I got a plain old fashioned book.

ok well i think i found a bad problem i was scared of

 

i pulled the clutch basket off and it will free spin in neutral

 

then started shifting thru gears with no clutch basket it will lock up in 1,2,3,4,and 6 5th free spins does this mean 5th is broken and i have pieces blocking all of the other gears or something?
