bansheefreestyler Posted September 3, 2005 Report Posted September 3, 2005 hey guys. well i drained my oil last night because of the clutch problems I have been having. when i felt around in the oil there were metal shavings and one plastic piece that was white. do you guys have any clue what this could of came from? I am going to take it to my mechanic here soon and get him to fix it cause i dont want to wreck something else by doing it myself. Let me know what you guys think and how much it would cost to fix if it was that. Thanks BFS Quote
batoutofshell Posted September 3, 2005 Report Posted September 3, 2005 White plastic could be your water pump gear I just changed mine, same thing happened. no biggy! Quote
bansheefreestyler Posted September 3, 2005 Author Report Posted September 3, 2005 ok. how much does it cost for one of them? and what could the shavings be from?it will go straight from nuetrel to 3rd Quote
batoutofshell Posted September 3, 2005 Report Posted September 3, 2005 I would say you have gears. possible shiftforks all messed up in the bottom end, tearing up your waterpump and stuff, it will get to all the vitals in your bottom end clutch, whatever..(I would not recommend running it anymore) that stuff will float around in the oil as your motor is running and screw it all up. you are going to have to take it apart to determine the damage.Buy a clymers manuel and do it yourself if you can.The stealership will gouge you big time for labor. sorry I can't determine unless its opened up to see!!

bansheefreestyler Posted September 3, 2005 Author Report Posted September 3, 2005 i do have a clymer but i dont want to do it cause i dont like messing around with clutches. my mechanic only charges me $35 an hour and the normal shop rates around here are about $80 Quote
batoutofshell Posted September 3, 2005 Report Posted September 3, 2005 I would take it to him then I would not ride it you will mess it up more.Clutches are easy though Quote
2twin350s Posted September 5, 2005 Report Posted September 5, 2005 send your motor to me i only charge 20 an hour and no parts mark up. i have built many banshees. i own 2 and have had 4 and i turn wrenches for a living. i can fix that for150 bucks plus parts. you will probably need some gears in your tranny. each gear costs about 70 bucks a piece.if you dont want to send to me fine. pull the motor yourself. that will save you about 150 in his time and take the engine to him and set it on the bench. most guys charge 275 to split cases and do tranny work. check my website. i am an honest businees man and i take pay pal. www.cosmicquads.com. my contact info is in there under the order page.

bansheefreestyler Posted September 5, 2005 Author Report Posted September 5, 2005 sorry man. if i lived close to you i would do that but that would cost me alot for shipping Quote
RNBRAD Posted September 5, 2005 Report Posted September 5, 2005 You really need to learn to do it yourself. It's not near as hard as you think. You should be able to replace the waterpump gear in about 15 minutes. Quote
thegroup Posted September 5, 2005 Report Posted September 5, 2005 send your motor to me i only charge 20 an hour and no parts mark up. i have built many banshees. 411699[/snapback] u and me both $20 is a hella of a lot better then stealer's rates. my only deal is getting my name out Quote

You should be able to replace the waterpump gear in about 15 minutes. 411756[/snapback] i agree he needs to do it himself. a clymer manual will walk you thru it. but he also said that the bansh shifts 1st to 3rd gear, so that is a little more involed than doin a waterpump. his cases need to be split to fix the shifting problem.if ya dont want to send it to me that is cool just thought i would offer, but pull the engine yourself if you want to take it somewhere else, and save some money.

locogato11283 Posted September 5, 2005 Report Posted September 5, 2005 just throw a lockup clutch in there and problem solved!!! Quote
bansheefreestyler Posted September 6, 2005 Author Report Posted September 6, 2005 brought er in today and if my mechanic thinks he knows what it is then it will cost around 2 grand. If it does cost that much im not going to get it fixed and find a place for it to be stored and keep it there until i have enough cash for it and then during the winter all my paychecks up until dec will go to a down payemnt for a yfz and then in dec I will get it on the payment plan.
