Did you have to replace the primary sheaves?

Did you have to replace the primary sheaves?

I had a spare clutch. I suspect the primary is beyond repair but sending it to Terry to see if can be salvaged.

I was wondering the same. Although I'm not that familiar with the clutches on the Yamacats, aren't there suppose to be a plastic bushing on both sides of the spider arms?

This is a problem I am seeing a lot of with rebuilding these Yamaha primaries. It's probably 30% of Yamaha primaries that come in for service.

They were assembled wrong from factory.

The O-rings & O-ring sliders are supposed to be on the opposite side of the spyder (non-torque side). Non-O-ring sliders are supposed to be on the torque side.

I have parts here and will have this clutch back to you in no time bud!

Thank you!

These are what’s left of all the sliders on torque side. Can you tell if theses were the ones that had o rings Terry?

Rode around yard and will take in ditch in a bit feels great! River is shot though. Transmission in truck is shifting into overdrive real hard. Not a good week.
