Hey ya'll...
Imma tinkin the clutches in my '81 are prolly bout to bite the dust. Last winter, the last time I rode it, I felt a slippage once when shifting, but couldn't tell if the clutch was slipping, or if my big thick gloves were keeping me fingers from releasing the lever properly.
Anywho...yesterday when I got home, I felt a little shudder of sorts when pulling into the garage, so I'm pretty sure it's time to replace the clutches....which I prolly should've done over the winter. oh2:
Soooo....I was tinkin....I wonder if the clutches might be the same as the clutches for a regular Honda automatic transmission. I gots tons of those here. I know when I redid the rear shocks, the seals for those were the same as axle seals on Honda trannys, and now I'm hoping I might get lucky and have some clutches that will fit in my 'Wing.
Anyone have a clutch they can measure, and maybe take a pic of, so I could see??
And....just for fun, is there a particular place ya'll get your clutches from that is reliable?
I hate to have to tear into this thing now that the weather is turning nice, but it's my own fault. :crying:
btw...I will be cleaning the oil screen when I do this... :good:
