Clutch Question

[cnybrian]

Should I be concerned about the amount of rust here? Its on a 2006 Attak and all 3 look similar.

if it was me i would take them out and clean them up.

Looks like a sled that gets hauled on an open trail in the salt spray, even the alum is corroded there. I'd try and clean it up for sure.

I used to have an open but only trailered a few times over the past 4 years or so, I purchased an enclosed in January of this year so no more salt for me.

Any good videos or step by step instructions out there?

I also would take the weights out and clean them. This way you can check the rollers to make sure they move freely and remove any debris from the weight profile/ramps.

cnybrian - There are a few videos on Youtube that show clutch kit installations. This should help you

Thank you! I now have my Thanksgiving project.

Thank you everyone. Got the rollers and weights out. The tubes were really stuck in there and took some PB and gentile persuasion with a a phillips bit that fit perfectly and a small hammer. The only casualties were the set screws. They were so rusted in I had to take them out with vice grips.

I now have the rollers and weights soaking in Metal Rescue and the clutch is being washed in warm soapy water.

another way to clean clutch is run it in a dish washer , what i do is take it a friend who has a bead blaster and use it and it comes looking new.
