bansheejoel Posted April 13, 2008 Report Posted April 13, 2008 i adjusted my clutch again after having my basket milled to get rid of the grooves and it still wants to creep when i pull in the clutch and rev it...what the hell im sure i did it correct this time. I pushed on the clutch arm then tightned the pancake bearing screw untill the two arrows aligned up and tightened down the locknut.... Quote
Hilarious Posted April 13, 2008 Report Posted April 13, 2008 I was told to set the adjustment to where the lever on the case pointed a little bit further to the stator side, past the arrow. Did you adjust the pull on your clutch lever? Quote
bansheejoel Posted April 13, 2008 Author Report Posted April 13, 2008 oh,,,i went by the manual 2 times now and its still not working so i think im going to try what you said. Yes i adjusted my clutch cable also, i think i need a new one to b/c its streched all to hell Quote
Bansh-eman Posted April 13, 2008 Report Posted April 13, 2008 first thing, not sure that milling the basket is a good idea. depending on how much you took off those plates have too much room to move in the basket and can shatter causing alot more problems... second thing, you will not always get your clutch to adjust correctly by the clymers manual. Mine i just have to set everything up and put the pressure plate on without the springs and screwws. turn the adjuster in until i feel it hit the rod/ball, then back it out 1/4 turn. I cant use the arrows at all for referance. so dont live off those arrows. Sometime you just have to know your clutch and how it likes to be set Quote

Sometime you just have to know your clutch and how it likes to be set i agree 100% at this point, i think you need to throw on a new cable before doing much else though just to eliminate the possibility of that being the problem. then you may have to do a custom set up to straighten it out if it still doesn't work.

bansheejoel Posted April 13, 2008 Author Report Posted April 13, 2008 (edited) i agree 100% at this point, i think you need to throw on a new cable before doing much else though just to eliminate the possibility of that being the problem. then you may have to do a custom set up to straighten it out if it still doesn't work. what do you mean custom setup?....and also i only had .012 taken off of the basket, just enough to get rid of the grooves. It wouldnt be much different than running it with the grooves b/c it had the same amount of play except now its smooth right?.....Are you supposed to run that o-ring that goes on before the first friction plate? or no...because last time i adjusted it tore that o-ring all to hell....i am starting to get pist no matter what i do i cant get this damn thing right. Ive heared mixed answers about billet baskets, are they worth a shit or are stockers better...i want to buy one but i dont feel like getting one if i wont benifit from it and if a stock one is actually better. are some better than others...let me know thanks...oh do i have to have that o-ring that is on the back side of the basket b/c mine doesnt have it on there.

Bansh-eman Posted April 13, 2008 Report Posted April 13, 2008 hands down a billet basket is the way to go!!! the twelve thousandths is nothing to worry about as far as having too much slack. but if you can afford to buy a billet basket go that route and be done with it. dont bother with a hinson, you can buy a Magnum and pay like half the price and get just as good of a basket. the oring is only there to cut down the clutch "chatter" if you get an aftermarket basket you dont use the ring Quote

shanYE west Posted April 13, 2008 Report Posted April 13, 2008 whats the condition of the rest of the clutch componets? Might be time for a new pressure plate or inner hub. Quote
bansheejoel Posted April 14, 2008 Author Report Posted April 14, 2008 how would i be able to tell if they were bad? they both look good..... Quote

Bansh-eman Posted April 14, 2008 Report Posted April 14, 2008 look for bent, cracked, or worn metal where any parts touch. also look VERY close to see if there are any hairline cracks. Quote
lonestar Posted April 14, 2008 Report Posted April 14, 2008 Check your steel plates see if their warped. Clutch plates got hot & warped them. That will cause it to creep. Quote
