Clutch Problems

Post by ChPLAT » Sun Aug 17, 2008 5:18 pm

Been noticing lately that when I have the clutch in, even before it gets anywhere near full travel, it has a bit of a squeal. Nothing too bad but still something to worry about?

easy way to do it is lift the motor up but not all the way out and you can just slip one bearing out and the new one in....

Actually... how old is the clutch? Does it have much wear left? Wouldn't it be easier if change the clutch assembly instead of doing the bearing alone? Just a thought.
