Do I need a new clutch ?


Recommended Posts

Alright... I know I posted this before but I have more problems now that might be able to point out the exact problem, which i think it is - the clutch. It rarely , sometimes shifts when Im drag racing or going fast. I had it in nuetral and it just popped into gear today in the driveway. And when it gets hot I cant shift when the quad is stopped, the gears have to be moving in order to shift. Is it the clutch?

Possibly...

 

Does it fade in and out? It might be starting to go....

Get a shift star mod, it'll help with shifting, especially finding nuetral while running and stopped.

 

Take the side off...remove, look at and measure the plates. While you're at it...look at the pressure plate and hub. Shouldn't be notched ...nice and smooth.

 

 

When you get it apart, give Jeff a call @ FAST Racing. He sells a great streetbike kit clutch for the banshee that gets great reviews here...I love mine.

He can walk you through what to look for.

 

He also stocks the pressure plate and hub, which...once I have him port my motor I'm definately going to get as well...

Besides good pricing and good parts, he's a helluva nice guy to deal with and will talk your ear off trying to help you out and offer advice.

 

When I get a few more coin...I'm going to get my motor done up by him. Jeff is making me pay for it...since he doesn't work for free and won't "Donate" a FAST motor to me...:) I've begged, groveled...pleaded...he won't budge...

 

:D

Just kiddin Jeff....can't wait to get a few more bills to send my stuff to you.

That would normally only cause it to slip. Shifting would be easier with a clutch that doesn't grab.

A clutch that doesn't grab might make it easier to shift...however, a clutch that isn't disengaging properly wlll cause it to shift like shit.

 

usually that means springs, pressure plate/hub and or worn out/sticking plates.

 

Either way...time to dissasemble the clutch assembly and inspect...hopefully you get lucky.
