Consumer Description

The clutch quit engaging while in traffic and I was nearly stranded on I-25 in stop and go traffic. I was able to nurse it along to a nearby parking lot with the clutch slipping very badly. I could have easily been rear ended. I took it apart and found the wet-clutch system was not getting any oil, it was completely dry. I bought a new clutch pack and cleaned the oil jet that supplies the clutch with oil. The clutch worked fine after oiling and installing it. It started slipping badly only a few hundred miles later. I took it apart and the clutch was completely dry again and the clutch oil jet was clogged. I replaced the stock clutch oil jet with an enlarged one and it has worked for 500 miles or so and is currently working.
