toodeep 1,758 Posted March 19, 2020 Those 4 bolts will be torqued at 9 ft lb. Are the clutch plates tight against each other in the basket or can you move them? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

toodeep 1,758 Posted March 19, 2020 Good thing we caught that now. The inner clutch jammed. Loosen the 4 bolts and work it around a little until it comes free and then tighten the bolts. The disk will all be tight when its correct. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TRX Student 151 Posted March 20, 2020 Dove back in. Started playing with the bolts. Yesterday I was having trouble tightening them because the center if the clutch was spinning. Today as I was playing with the bolts there was a loud click, pressure released somewhere something grabbed, then the center stopped spinning, I checked all the bolts for torque. I can no longer wiggle the plates, everything is tight. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TRX Student 151 Posted March 20, 2020 That also settled the cam arm meeting with the plate, it now meets where it should and is catching properly! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I put the washer on the cam arm where it meets the inner case, which i see now is incorrect? I looked at the diagram again, from what I can tell, it should be sitting on the top/outside/ of the arm? fit it over the white spot, basically. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
toodeep 1,758 Posted March 20, 2020 Yes, washers go to the outside. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

toodeep 1,758 Posted March 20, 2020 A little tip if you plan on keeping it for a long time use some hondabond (RTV) on both sides of the gasket in the yellow area. Crankcase pressure will actually pull that gasket inwards in that area over time. I think it was around 97? they added another bolt to help with the problem. @Fishfiles should be doing the same with his water machines as a preventative measure. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have hondabond, and was considering going all the way around with a very very light amount, (inner side) is this alright? then for that yellow area, I will put some on both sides...

toodeep 1,758 Posted March 20, 2020 All the way around is an overkill but if a very thin amount it won't hurt anything. That area is the main area to really get the gasket to bond. I've replaced a lot of gaskets over the years because of that issue and an oil leak. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TRX Student 151 Posted March 21, 2020 Jeeze! had a lot of trouble getting the cover back on, the clutch arm kept catching the the Kickstarter spring would spring off, then clutch arm again. Fiew! Took forever. Then on to struggling to get the motor into the frame. That took awhile too. But she’s in! Can’t believe all I got done the past few days, thanks guys for helping along the way. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
