Tranny/Shifting problem

[ALB80-850]

TCK-

Right now everything is assembled. If I have to take it apart again Iwill get some pictures. If it will help I can take some pictures of it as it is now, maybe you can tell if the arm is misplace from that. I did compare the position to the position of an arm on a 650L(my next project) and they appear to be real close or the same. Thanks.

Standby............


I'll try to make it quick.

I can't get there from here. PM me your email and I'll send the picture that way.

I have read several post that talk about weak clutch springs. Could mine be to strong or over torqued?

no
it is the distance (travel) of the clutch lever mechanism that matters when separating the clutch plates
springs only make the plates' engagement pressure harder or softer

Here is my shift arm lever position. Sorry for the delay, photbucket and I do not play well.

That clutch arm is significantly inboard of the one on my 850. I'd loosen the cable all the way and remove the arm, then reinstall the arm as far outboard as possible. Clutch cable should have a small amount of play and that's it.

Good luck.

Yeah I have to agree with Ed here, i think that is your problem. Mine on my 1100G, which might as well be the same motor, sticks WAY out there...give it a shot.

Will give that a try. Am going to remove the clutch assembly and take pictures of the shifting fork and internals to post and get your opinions. Im thinking the shift fork might still be off by a notch or 2. I think the problem is real close to being solved(at least I hope so).Thanks for all help.

I would love to get this thing down the road today. It would be a real nice b-day present to myself

Here is the linkage with the clutch assembly removed

Your clutch actuator arm needs to be repositioned back, it is in the position now it should be in after pulling in the clutch. Remove the bolt, pull it up and reposition it back a few splines, so it starts in 1 o'clock and finishes in 11 o'clock.

Make sure the the notch at the back of the clutch hub fits into the oil pump gear.
I have to agree. The clutch actuator arm is off.

[ALB80-850]

If I understand this right, the arm on the left needs to be higher?Put that gear in the 1 o'clock position and the upper edge will finish it's stroke at the 11 o'clock position. Thanks.

Andy

P.S. I'm not trying to sound like an idiot, but I don't want to have to take it apart many more times.

Thanks for the info.

your shifter looks ok - if that pic is taken in neutral gear - so dont move it

what everybody is on about is the actuator arm in your first pic
if "12" o clock is when the arm is paralel with the engine (facing straight forward), you want it positioned at 1 oclock so when it is pulled in by the clutch cable it comes to 11 oclock
