nv529 Posted May 2, 2006 Report Share Posted May 2, 2006 I went out riding over the weekend and all a sudden I lost my clutch. at first I thought I've broken a clutch cable until I came home and check it over the cable is good. so I knew it was something inside the tranny.. I took the clutch pack apart and the shaft that disengauges the clutch broke! my question is how do I get the rest of the remaining shaft out of the case??? the shaft broke at about 2-3inches away from the throw out plate so the rest of the shaft is still inside of the motor.

80overShee Posted May 2, 2006 Report Share Posted May 2, 2006 This happened to me. I doubt it 'broke'. Its a 3 piece system. ~6" rod - ball bearing - 2" threaded push rod. Mine welded itself to the transmission shaft. Had to replace the whole thing. The shaft is about $80. You won't pull it out with a magnet or push it out with air pressure. If it feels like you lost your clutch then its not moving at all so it is welded, otherwise it would move back and forth from the pressure on teh clutch springs. Time to split the cases and tear those gears off. Its not really all that hard though. Just take your time and when you order your new shaft (strictly Yamaha dealer part) place all the parts from one shaft to a table in the EXACT orientation you remove them and then place them on the new shaft in the same fashion. Be careful not to turn the snap rings over the wrong direction, most people dont realize that snap rings are directional. After having the cases split, it only took me about 2 minutes to do. It is an easy job, the hardest part is just getting to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ducman Posted May 4, 2006 Report Share Posted May 4, 2006 80overShee is probably right about how you are going to have to get it out. Your shift shaft was probably not adjusted correctly, not enough free play so it was constantly being pushed against the ball and preasure plate causing friction = heat and welded the end of the shaft. You want the little pointer on the clutch arm to line up with the mark on the case. This ensures that you have enough free play. You adjust the amount of shaft freeplay with the little nut on the outside of the pressure plate. It helps to have a mechanic show you what to look for as far as how to adjust the shaft free play in the clutch adjustment. The first time I adjusted mine I did it wrong, the lever feels better (firmer, less slop in the lever) when the freeplay is taken out, but a mechanic pointed out my error and told me what the consecquences would be before I ran the engine. There is a mod you can do that adds a bearing to the pressure plate rather than the steel ball that prevents this problem from happening and gives a better feel to the clutch pull do to less freeplay. I think this mod is usually done when you go to a locking clutch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
