FasterThanU90 Posted February 20, 2016 Report Share Posted February 20, 2016 So I have a 92 Banshee and i`m restoring it.. I`ve done two oil changes is the last 3 hours of riding. The oil is gray dark and thick.. it looks like a mixture of dirt dust, friction plate material and oil. I took the clutch cover off and sprayed and cleaned with brake parts cleaner. It does not come off easily.. my point is do you have any wisdom to flush my transmission better and clean with a solution? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trickedcarbine Posted February 20, 2016 Report Share Posted February 20, 2016 What oil? Are you sure the O ring the clutch cover slide over is not letting coolant past? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FasterThanU90 Posted February 20, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2016 Just tear it down and clean everything. Replace all the seals, gasket, and bearings you can while apart too. This would be the best way to clean it out. yeah i agree thats the best way but i dont have the shop space to do all that and keep everything sorted and clean. I also just put a new top end on.. might just do more oil changes frequently and clean inside the clutch area the best i can reach with the cover and components off. Im replacing the worn out clutch now. What oil? Are you sure the O ring the clutch cover slide over is not letting coolant past? i just tore it apart and there are no sign of leaking there and im talking about trans oil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FasterThanU90 Posted February 20, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2016 What fluid are you using? Reason tricked said the o-ring is because it can let coolant get into the trans. Sent from my SM-N920P using Tapatalk Im using Golden Spectro 80 W . I am aware of the o ring. I saw no oil residue inside the coolant tube or cooling sytem coolant. I can mix some coolant and trans oil to see what it looks like but this is dark and grey ish. Also its thick and must be wiped off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FasterThanU90 Posted February 20, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2016 Is it "shiny"? Like metal shavings in it? Yes it had shimmer and small shavings but my clutch housing fingers are grooved deep.. im pretty sure thats where all the worn material is coming from..

FasterThanU90 Posted February 20, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2016 That also might be where the color is coming from too Sent from my SM-N920P using Tapatalk im going to replace all the worn parts under the clutch cover and keep a close eye on the oil quality ..

n2otoofast4u Posted February 20, 2016 Report Share Posted February 20, 2016 Fill with diesel. Run in neutral for 3 min. Drain. Repeat 3 times. Fill with oil of choice. Go ride. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go ride. i dont know thats stuff toxic.. plus i had direct sprayed the stuff with compressed air brake cleaner and it was hard to spray off i had to actually wipe it off.. Amsoil sells an engine and transmission cleaner.. maybe that would work better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keno Posted February 20, 2016 Report Share Posted February 20, 2016 That actually seems like a good idea. I remember reading a Model T manual that suggested filing the crankcase with Kerosene and cranking the motor a few times then draining to remove Oil Sludge.

hoppedupandcutdown Posted February 20, 2016 Report Share Posted February 20, 2016 or just skip straight to adding banana peels and sawdust to mask the whining. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoppedupandcutdown Posted February 20, 2016 Report Share Posted February 20, 2016 ^^ that was sarcastic, the diesel is actually a legit old school remedy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
