bansheesandrider Posted September 8, 2012 Report Share Posted September 8, 2012 Since everything in the picture LOOKS tight, I would check to see if the whole clutch assembly is loose or wobbling on the shaft- look for a loose nut holding the basket/hub on or if the bushing in the basket is loose/wore or if there are missing washers.

trickedcarbine Posted September 11, 2012 Report Share Posted September 11, 2012 Just remember that if the idler clip is popping off it means that the bushing is mushrooming out and it needs replacing.

Coupelx Posted September 11, 2012 Report Share Posted September 11, 2012 Normal clutch wear leaves a black residue like that too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
