windlestone Posted March 3, 2004 Report Share Posted March 3, 2004 i have an 02 pro and up untill now clutch has been fine. i've had the master cylinder seal mods carried out and clutch has worked fine. Now clutch is becoming heavy and feels stiff to pull lever in. Has started to drag now as well. Any ideas guys? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lineaway Posted March 3, 2004 Report Share Posted March 3, 2004 Time to change the steel clutch plate. With time the fiber plates swell which changes the height of the clutch `fingers` inside. Need to change one plate to the .3 or .4 to bring it back up to spec. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eiger Posted March 4, 2004 Report Share Posted March 4, 2004 As Lineaway has stated the fibre plates absorb oil over a period of time and begin to swell so ideally you need to remove the clutch pack and measure with a vernier caliper.

windlestone Posted March 16, 2004 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2004 Thanks for the advice lads it was spot on. I put two plates in also found clutch cage was loose? i hadn't touched it but could only move lever 1" then it went solid when i first rebuilt it. I spoke to Gas Gas and Kev said clutch cage was probably loose. It now feels like i have no clutch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
