odong69 Posted February 23, 2005 Report Posted February 23, 2005 I recently repaired the transmission in my 01 Banshee. I also honed the cylinders and put some Wisco's in it. The problem i am having is with the clutch. Im not sure how tight to tighten the 6 spring screws on the side. In neutral......the wheels spin fine like no gears are engaged. When I put it in 1st gear......and spin the wheels its like it should be...in gear. But when i pull in the clutch.....it does the same thing. LIke the clutch isn't engaging. Is there any certain timing marks that I should have lined up that i missed?? How tight should i tighten the spring screws?? A simple clutch turns into a big pain in the ass. Can somebody please help me????? Thanks. Owen Quote
FIRST BANSHEE Posted February 23, 2005 Report Posted February 23, 2005 you need to get a manual... did you adjust the clutch rod, that's in the middle of the clutch assembly. the philips screw and 12mm nut. you need to line up the clutch arm and the arrow on the case where the cable attaches. Quote
Black Ice Posted May 9, 2005 Report Posted May 9, 2005 make sure u didnt loose ur little clutch ball that goes in behind the pushrod, i had that problem and it was a big pain in the ass Quote
dajogejr Posted May 9, 2005 Report Posted May 9, 2005 7.4 ft. lbs. of torque on each of those screws...can do it in nuetral, in gear, etc. Whatever is easiest. Use a criss cross pattern. as said...get a clymer manual to adjust the clutch... I'd almost bet that bearing behind the push rod went AWOL... Quote
superchicken Posted May 9, 2005 Report Posted May 9, 2005 (edited) those spring screws need to be torqued down,in a certain pattern i think.get a manual and read it.wouldnt hurt to put some locktight on them either,i did edit me and daj posted at the same time.ooops Edited May 9, 2005 by superchicken Quote
sandman121383 Posted May 9, 2005 Report Posted May 9, 2005 i dunno of neonemmentioned that theres marks on ur basket that u have to line up with the clutch boss. they're little arrows. so when u put it back on make sure u line the arrows up when u put the boss over the basket. Quote
dajogejr Posted May 9, 2005 Report Posted May 9, 2005 Hmm...didn't think to check when I just redid my shift star this weekend, sandman.. I just rode all day Saturday...so I must have gotten it right... Quote
sandman121383 Posted May 9, 2005 Report Posted May 9, 2005 hhaha maybe u just got lucky!! hey it works!!! i gotta get a new basket mines shot Quote
dajogejr Posted May 9, 2005 Report Posted May 9, 2005 I did manage to hit my basket with a scotch brite die grinder this weekend... It had some "ripples" in it...NOT grooves per say. Just smoothed it out. Took away most of the creep. Hinson soon...but, not quite yet!! Quote

Hinson soon...but, not quite yet!! 366509[/snapback] jeff at FAST sells the baskets. same damn thing as a hinson but like half the price. thats what i got in mine made all the difference in the world. hit him up about it. if you replace the basket might as well replace the inner and outer hubs. they are cheap and jeff stocks them too. dont wait too long, those stock worn parts will wear your clutch quicker.

dajogejr Posted May 9, 2005 Report Posted May 9, 2005 Dammit...Loco...I knew you were going to say that... Yep, in two of the three phone calls I had with him he was quick to point all that out. Might have to get a job with him to pay for some of it... I got a pretty good bonus check coming in pretty soon..so, more shopping for me. Loco...with his clutch kit, I put in 3 stock springs and 3HD. Jeff did say use all 6..but, since I was only going for a day, I tried 3. No problems at all. Once I go the ported/NOSS Head/VForce route, I'll be sure to put all the HDs in. But...for now, my clutch arm thanks me... I was thinking about Gorr porting mine...but, I think I'm just gonna send it down to Jeff at the end of the year to get it all done. He is truly such a great guy, he deserves my business!! Quote
