Title: Clutch chatter
Post by tbalam on 03/31/07 at 18:28:06

Hey guys,
I have a bit of clutch chatter when I take off. And it is typically only after a few miles. Could this be from the sythetic 20-50 I am using or something else? I took out the clutch shims and theat helps but didn't eliminate the problem.

Also how is the clutch oiled? Is it just from the spray off the gears and inside the case?

Thanks for any thoughts.

What clutch shims?

You took the clutch apart? Did you get the 1st drive plate and wave washer installed in the correct place?

The clutch is oiled from spray and from the inside out.

Just to make sure I read the destructions right...

First clutch plate is the narrow one that the wave washer sit in. Wave washer sit outside of the other flat washer, with the higher inner circumference facing out. I am fairly certain I have it set up like the microfiche., but the clutch just doesn't release like it should, even with maximum pull. I am sure it is something I did, though.

I had the springs shimmed, but realized I didn't need them.
