OUCH !

On mine the cam that the lever works against cracked and prevented clutch operation. It is a cast piece and if it separated could end up in the gears for the clutch. Mine stayed together until I opened it up. Good luck. Max

Thanks a bunch, Bot. You know Im no puter guy & I woulda been frustrated hunting that up. I spent 5 bux more, just to not have to order online. It was worth it to me. Now, I gotta get a new gasket...Ill do that locally & give a guy I like some bizniss.


Got it apart. Dont see any damage, but I havent yet taken a light & really looked at it. I will, when Im more emotionally prepared to deal with bad news, tho, I doubt theres a problem, since it happened at idle & the SIL was d/shifting from 2nd to 1st./ It did make a grinding racket, then a thunk, & shut the engine down. Ill have to have a close look.. No sign of metal in the oil on a quick look. Ill drag a magnet thru it tho. OIl is only a hundred or so miles old.

Gave that some thot, too, Bot. Im havin a real prob gettin focused right now. Ill look at the bits & see if theres any damage on them. If not, Im just not gonna sweat it much. Most likely, Ill toss it back together & run it. Not to tickled with this kind of problem. A bit of a hazard IMO. Im having visions of a for sale sign.

No, why?
