NickisGod Posted May 14, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2009 I would be careful giving out advice to "split the motor and fix the problem". Like the other guys pointed out, there's a VERY good chance that the motor does not need the cases opened up. The two times I did this job, both times I got the parts out with the magnet trick. i think id take it to some one to do it for me before i split my cases. i seem to run into one small error when i do shit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have yet to have one that was an easy fix. You are correct about it may be a simple fix. Splitting the cases is like a walk in the park for me. I have done it many times. LOL Good luck with your clutch problem and I hope it is an easy fix!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meat Posted May 14, 2009 Report Share Posted May 14, 2009 You can take off the clutch cover, and then pressure plate and check it. In the middle of your clutch basket behind the plate, you will see the adjuster. The rod and ball set behind this. Here is where you will need to troubleshoot. 1, Make sure the bolt just did not back off. 2, Pull it out, and then use a magnet to pull the ball and rod out. 3, It can weld 3 ways. The ball and rod comes out welded to the adjuster (the lucky way). The ball comes out, but the rod wont (b/c it is mushroomed on the other end). Or you can not get shit to come out (the ball is stuck to the rod, and the rod is stuck inside). Lets hope that they all come out. Easy fixed, just replace it all and add a pancake bearing. If not, you have to flip the motor, split the case, lift the other end of the clutch shaft up (I dont know the tech name of this shaft), pull the mushroomed rod out the other end. PICS... What you hope to find, all welded together and pulls out. (pics of the one I fixed) What you don't want to find, (pics from LS1Inferno). Links.... Good post to read http://www.bansheehq.com/forums/index.php?...pancake+bearing Great reply right there. Try to get that stuff outta there and if you can't then pull the motor out of the frame and start splittin'. keep parts organized and use the right tools. Having a good place to work with lots of lighting helps a shit load. Every step of this job can be found or answered here. Good luck with it. I hope the parts come out esay for ya.

87sheerips Posted May 15, 2009 Report Share Posted May 15, 2009 This is why I engine brake a TON on my bike without the pancake bearing... be careful, thats a day runier! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
