What the CLUTCH
« on: February 12, 2014, 01:02:02 pm »
SO I finally decided to start messing with the 87' and 88' Zilla's I have. the 88 I picked up for $500, and the 87' was given to me by a friend with a frozen motor/basket case. 

The 88 i got so cheap cause the guys said he thinks 1st and 2nd where gone, but all my testing (and knowledge I pulled from here and you tube) i tracked it down to being a clutch issue actually. Here is what I found

its supposed to do that.  the slack is taken out when you put on the cover and the rack engages the pinion.  the pinion will pull the rack out to dissengage the clutch

You put it together like that and it won't look that way for long the bearing is on the plunger backwards. Rollers to the steel side smooth side to the pressure plate. That's why the first one is shot.

I don't think it's that common but it does happen from time to time... My 250 had that same problem, under power it made this god offal squeal noise, first thought it was my water pump.

Never hear is squeal!!! but you would go to pull the clutch and it  felt like you where trying to squeeze blood from a turnip (hard as hell if not impossible)
