1996 Clutch Problem--UPDATE (1 of 2)

[itsaripper]

This problem got me thinking, because I am always asking "what would I do". I went and got my RZ case and put the front row of gears in and looked at where the push lever assembly sets. You could drill a 1/8th to 5/16ths hole just 1/8 inch to the rear of center right on the case line. Take a long shank punch and tap the push rod out. Then fill the hole with JB weld and put the push lever back in and your ready to ajust the new rod and ball. If you have a clymers manuel look on page 122 & 123 at 14,16,17, and 18. You can see what I am talking about. The down side is the shaft could be swelled so much you can't get it out with out bigger hammer. If you do this you should put the nut back on the end of shaft and have someone backup the shaft so the side of the case doesn't have to take the pounding, in there where the bearing mount to the case. Thats just to not cause another problem. This is just a idea and if you aren't that mechanicly inclined maybe ya better not.
