cLUTCH NOT ENGAGING

[sl0wp0ke]

I HAVE A 98 BANNSHEE, THE MOTOR WAS SUPOSE TO HAVE BEEN REBUILT JUST PRIOR TO ME OBTAINING THE BIKE. I WAS TOLD THERE WAS AN AFTERMARKET CLUTCH IN THE BIKE. lATE LAST YEAR I WAS HEADING OUT ON THE BIKE AND GOT ABOUT A MILE AND THE CLUTCH STUCK ON. I PULLED THE CLUTCH COVER OFF, WHEN I PULL THE CLUTCH LEVER IT THOUGHS THE CLUTCH OUT, THE BALL AND ROD ARE IN A1 SHAPE. THE DISCS AND PRESSURE PLATES SEEM TO BE IN GOOD SHAPE. THE ONLY DAMAGE I HAVE FOUND IS ON THE EARS OF THE CLUTCH BASKET, THEY ARE MINMIALLY WORN. I DO NOT THINK ENOUGH TO MAKE THE CLUTCH STICK BUT NOT REALLY SURE. WHEN I PULLED THE LEVER ALL THE DISCS AND PRESSURE PLATES MOVED WITH THE CLUTCH AS ONE AND DID NOT SLIDE APART. I WAS ABLE TO SEPEARTE THEM ALL BY HAND ON THE BENCH. I HAVE BEEN READING ONLINE AND IT SEEMS WHEN THIS HAPPENS TO MOST PEOPLES BIKES THEY HAVE BEEN SITTING FOR A WHILE. THIS WAS NOT THE CASE IN MY BIKE. WHAT ELSE COULD CAUSE THESE DISCS TO STICK TOGETHER, DO YOU THINK IF I CLEANED THEM ALL AND OILED THEM GOOD AND PUT NEW TRANNY FLUID IN IT SHOULD BE GOOD TO GO.

 

ANY ADVISE BE HELPFULL.
