Justintoxicated Posted April 30, 2004 Report Share Posted April 30, 2004 I used to coast down hills with the clutch pulled in and when i split my cases to weld the crank SDD pointed out that my rod had lost all of it's heat treatment.

nickxc Posted April 30, 2004 Report Share Posted April 30, 2004 hey boonman did you say its bad for the tranny to pull in the clutch and coast. I think I remember reading that it was bad but I couldnt remember if it was bad to pull in the clutch and coast or pull in the clutch and rev it. Im tranny stupid!!

boonman Posted April 30, 2004 Report Share Posted April 30, 2004 We had a BIG discussion on this not too long ago. I don't remember exactly who was debating on it, but the outcome is this. Coasting at any speed, with the clutch pulled in is a NO NO!!!! Especially with an insufficient amount of oil in there. Now, sitting there still, clutch in, revving the piss out of it, you won't have a problem. The pressure plate isn't moving. The tranny shaft that the ball goes through doesn't spin untill you move. It is attached via spline(s) to the inner clutch boss. (the part that the steel plates are affixed to) So, bottom line, coasting with clutch pulled in=BAD Sitting still with clutch pulled in=O.K.

nickxc Posted April 30, 2004 Report Share Posted April 30, 2004 man Im glad I know that. I used to coast down hills that where like a mile long with the clutch pulled in. Ive only put about 5 tanks through my new banshee so I hope I didn't hurt anything by doin this but Ive only done it a couple times I think with the new one... That I remember anyway It never crossed my mind before. I'll never do it again though. thanks for the info... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would not worry about it, jsut try not to do it anymore, I did it on mine for years and never had a problem. I guess from using good oil or just being plain lucky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
