02Bansheeee Posted September 24, 2014 Report Share Posted September 24, 2014 So here's how it went.I put the clutch in, how the clymers manual says. I soaked the clutch steels, fibers, cushions, and springs in oil overnight. Installed them it earlier today & noticed that the hex bolt that alligns In the pressure plate was not seated. Tried to tap it out with a rubber mallet, no luck. Figured that's how it was when I took it off.. but I had the clutch arm adjusted to the arrow and put everything together. After I took it down my road the second time, easily going through gears, the clutch lever pulled all the way back to the grips, not engaging the clutch at all, causing me to be stuck in 3rd gear all the way home. What the hell happened? I got a feeling it has something to do with that nut that's supposed to fit into the pressure plate? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sprinklerman Posted September 24, 2014 Report Share Posted September 24, 2014 Did the cable pop out of the holder on the case? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larry's Shee Posted September 24, 2014 Report Share Posted September 24, 2014 Bet the adjuster screw backed out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

02Bansheeee Posted October 2, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2014 Thanks for the replys, the adjuster nut backed off. Put blue threadlocker on it and took it down my street to make sure it was working right. Took off fine and engaged properly when I pulled it in. Then when I pulled in the clutch to shift back down to 1st, the wheels locked up and it stalled. Clutch lever got loose again. I threadlocked the nut in front of the pressure plate. I got itinto what I thought was neutral and put it in gear and tried to take off to get back home? Now the clutch won't disengage!!! WHAT THE FUCK!?!?!? it was fine and just went out! Any thoughts before I open the cover again? I've never had a clutch install go this bad... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's where the problems originated. Beyond that, we can't speculate what you assembled wrong/ broke/fucked up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheerider11 Posted October 2, 2014 Report Share Posted October 2, 2014 Just my preference, I use a new pressure plate,new hub, cable, bushings, and sometimes actuator with a new clutch. Saves a lot of headache on unknown parts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
02Bansheeee Posted October 22, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 22, 2014 Forgot to say the resolution.. the hex nut wasn't fully seated causing it to push a hole through the pressure plate and release all tension on the adjuster nut. That backed off . So moral of the story, do the shit right the first time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
