installing new clutch - help

[MattyMagee]

been a while since i been on the boards but here goes

 

at the moment i misplaced my manual so im comming here first

 

To make a long story short I rebuit my shee

now im putting a new clutch in before i throw it back together

I put the steel and friction plates in

throw the pressure plate on and tighten it down and the plates are lose

im able to move them back and forth a little play

First thought was its a bad clutch.....

 

Now im looking at the old cutch

theres rubber bushings i guess you could call them

theyre on the inside perimiter of the old stock disks

Im wondering if these rubber bushings are necessary.

 

The new cluch i got didnt come with them so my first thought is they arn't required and

are probably just junk.

Im also thinking if they arnt junk mybe theyre whats causing the clutch to be a little loose.

 

If theyre they are junk and arnt responsable for the clutch being loose..

can i maybe get a few pointers to steer me in the right direction to get this straightened out.

 

Whatever help anyone can shed on the matter is appreciated

thanks

hey I would put the clutch cushions in , thats why the clutch is loose, those are a dealer item :beer:

If i am correct the stock plates come with those but the aftermarket clutches do not need them.

You don't need them. I believe the official reason for them is "to eliminate clutch chatter".

You dont need the friction plates. Look at your hub, there should be an arrow on there somewhere, maybe its a circle, I cant remember, but its something to draw your attention. Line that arrow up with the one on the basket and they'll fit together, snug.

Yeah, he's right, except the part about the friction plates, you DO need those. You won't go too far with just steels. :baseball_w00t:

Yup. I meant the cushions.
