I've got a 2001 yamaha banshee having trans issues. I bought a clutch basket, inner clutch hub and idler gear. When I start it in neutral it makes a grinding noise as soon as I pull the clutch in it goes away I can shift through the gears while running with clutch pulled just fine as soon as I start to release the clutch it starts grinding again. also when I have it in gear and release the clutch it starts to take off like normal with no grinding. Just looking for help on what i should check. I did have everything apart while putting the clutch basket etc in. the clutches looked good everything went together like it should.

Did you check for basket (finger) wear? How was your cushions? Was there play with the basket? Did you check the eccentric screw? All these things need to be checked and adjusted prior to start up.

The eccentric screw shouldn’t have anything to do with this. It doesn’t have any connection to the clutch at all.

If it makes the noise with clutch out but not when in, it’s clutch/basket related.

Ya I'll take it apart tomorrow and look hopefully that clutch basket I just bought isn't bad. I had to buy another inner clutch hub used from an atv shop I broke the original. the one I got has a rubber seal where the clutch plates sit against the inner hub my original didn't but I assumed it may have fell off from a previous clutch change?

I got that rubber piece out I did notice that when I pull the clutch with the clutch case off that the clutch plates don't separate in the basket the fiber closest to the inner hub did a couple times the others seem like they were stuck together I separated all of them and re installed and it did the same thing.

I think it might be my idler gear it's got pretty heavy wear Mark's on the kickstarter side and slight rub Mark's on the main gear side. I cleaned the case out yesterday and there's metal shaving in the bottom of the case now. Really wishing I would have waited and just bought new parts. what could cause the idler gear to have wear on it besides the bushing?
