the mattoon clutch basket is about as cheap as you can get. plus, they are really nice; has the chromolly backing plate and the bigger 8mm screws. ebay or call them... $144 shipped brand new.

 

I don't know If I would go with Mattoon's Billet Clutch Basket or not. I've Got about 20hrs on this Mattoon 8 Plate Extreme Heavy Duty Billet Clutch Basket that I ordered brand new from Mattoon back last December. The last time I rode it was a absolute bitch when it came time to shift. I ask a buddy of mine that owns a local ATV Shop that rides with us what he thought the problem was and he said we would need to jerk the clutch cover off when we got back to the shop. We didn't have time that day so come Monday I ordered a Mull Racing Billet Shift Star and a Forged Kicker Gear and a Clutch Basket Needle Bearing set up that replaced the the Bronze OE Clutch Basket Bushing to help me get through the gears a little easier. When we popped the Clutch Cover off and started dissembling the Clutch Assembly we found out that the new Mattoon Billet Clutch Basket I had installed was pretty much junk and it had caused me to break a Friction Plate.

 

I didn't figure that I'd have any problems getting this situation resolved Keith or any of the other guys at Mattoon so I sent them a email with these Pictures, a Pay Pal Receipt, and the Hour Meter Reading and ask them to aether refund my money or send me another Billet Clutch Basket. I also ask them if they could get the new Billet Clutch Basket with a Hard Anodized Finish on it to prevent this from happening again and if they couldn't hard anodize the basket for me if they new somebody I could send it to that would. That was last week and I've sent them two more emails and I still haven't got a response.

 

Do you guys know of anyone else that's had any problems out of Mattoon's products or there Costumer Service? From what I've heard Mattoon is a great company, I'm wanting and plan on buying a set of there Stock 102mm Spread Billet Cases to set my Serval Cylinder Set Up on sometime next winter. My buddy Matt Withrow that owns Withrow Powersport's told me he thought I'd have wear issues with it when we put it in last winter because it didn't have a Hard Anodized Finish on it, but I thought it would be fine because the Stock Basket was Aluminum and it didn't have a Hard Anodized Finish on it and it had lasted from 2004 to 2011 so I figured I'd buy another Billet Basket if I had to seven or eight years later. The Bad part about it is my OE Basket wasn't this bad when I took it out. Like I said I have a Serval Set Up with the following Transmission Upgrades,

 

  • Driveline Extreme 8 Plate Heavy Duty Trail/Track Clutch Kit
  • Driveline Stealth Lock Up
  • Mattoon Extreme 8 Plate Heavy Duty Clutch Basket
  • Hinson 8 Plate Inner Clutch Hub
  • Mull Racing Billet Shift Star
  • Forged Kicker Gear
  • Clutch Basket Needle Bearing That Replaces the Bronze OE Clutch Basket Bushing
  • Stream-Line Hydraulic Clutch Lever

As yo can see I've invested quite-a-bit of money in my Transmission and Clutch Set Up in a attempt to eliminate any Clutch or Transmission Issues. What do you guys suggest I do from here? I guess I'll see if Hinson makes a8 Plate Hard Anodized Steel Clutch Basket for the Banshee and replace my Mattoon 8 Plate Extreme Heavy Duty Billet Clutch Basket if Mattoon's not going to try to make this right. I know the Steel will be Heavier and probably rob a couple of Horsepower but I built my Banshee for Trail Riding and XC Racing and RELIABILITY over everything else! Just about every time I've had another quad run with my Banshee or beat it it's been because I couldn't get through all the gears.
