I'll try that and see where it takes me. Do you happen to know how to stagger the clutch plates so that the transmission runs smoothly? You said you've had a few of these apart.

Yeah, that's what I figured. Looks like it's time to drop some money on a new basket. Just gotta figure out how these plates go back in! LOL
i have had several apart. in the one im working on, i replaced just fibers. thats all the guy bought. oh, and new clutch springs. those will go in once he gets them to me. as for stagering, not sure what you mean besides starting with a fiber and ending with a fiber. the steals in between. good choice on running atf type f, its all i run. check on a barnett clutch basket. they have steel fingered baskets that don't wear out. see if they have them available for your bike. something to consider
The steel plates don't have to go in a certain way? On the blaster there's little humps on the steel plates that you have to stagger to get them to be geared properly.
it goes, inner hub, fiber, steel, fiber, steel till you end with a fiber and the pressure plate.
if you havent pulled the clutch apart yet, you can, and probably should, pull them and stack them exactly the way they are in the bike. like the first fiber, pull it and lay the side that faces out, down and do the same with the steels. and so on. that way the bedded in mating surfaces stay with each other. than put them back in the reverse way they came out. keeping then in order.
I will. I am just debating on trying to file those grooves down and getting the rest of the season out of it or just getting a new basket.
I'm going to go down and file it here soon. Dreading it as it's probably going to take forever since I don't have a dremel, just a triangle file, but I'll post back once I get it done!
glad you don't have a dremel, you do not want to use it. it needs to be done with a flat file and some finesse. that way you don't cup the fingers. that would be bad. nice straight, even cuts with the file.
Lol, yeah...I think that explains why I'm having this problem with the transmission...
If I can get the rest of the season out of this, that would be awesome. If not, I'll buy a new billet basket.
Well, took it for a little quick ride around the block. When I put it into gear from neutral it didn't slam into gear like it has been. Seems like it fixed the problem but I won't really know until I go for a longer ride.
