banshee_kid350 Posted July 31, 2005 Report Share Posted July 31, 2005 I have a 96 shee and resently I have noticed the clutch handle is getting hella hard to pull it and when down shifting the gears clash on like 3rd and 2nd and somtimes difficult shifting. When stopped it has started to lurch forward and want to die unless I pull the clutch handle all the way back to the hadle grip which is really hard to do because of the stiffness. I unhooked the cable from the lever on motor and it is really hard to push with my hand is that normal? Last summer my old cable broke so I replaced it with an aftermarket one and it has worked pretty good until now. Thanks for any help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
racer Posted July 31, 2005 Report Share Posted July 31, 2005 could be time for a new cable. i see you are from SLC, so you prob ride sand huh? if so that may have something to do with it. but yes it sure be hard to push on the clutch arm by hand.

RNBRAD Posted August 1, 2005 Report Share Posted August 1, 2005 I put a new cable on just a few months ago, couldn't believe how stiff those cables get over time. It made a world of difference, so yes try a new cable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trex banshee Posted August 1, 2005 Report Share Posted August 1, 2005 when you replace your clutch cable from a stretched or broken one the newer one is going to be shorter so you have to change your adjustment on the clutch boss. i had the same thing happen to me replaced the cable and i couldn't hardly pull in on the lever because the pushrod was screwed in to far for the longer cable.

The adjustment on the handle shop adjust out to compensate for the new cable. If not, your clutch is adjusted wrong anyway. You shouldn't have to adjust the clutch internally.

trex banshee Posted August 1, 2005 Report Share Posted August 1, 2005 well that is what i thought but mine didn't go enough on the handle. the only change i did was buy a new cable because my old one was coming undone making it longer. so when i got a new one it was alot shorter(actually correct lenght) and the clutch was being disengaged all the time or really close to it. so i had to unscrew the pushrod just a little. mine was out of adjustment alot more than it should have been.
