I have a 1720 cub cadet the elec clutch began to slip. how much should i tighten the clutch if at all?
when the clutch slips the elec pto switch will shut off on its own and will not stay on unless i hold it on or let the mower cool down.I have a 1720 cub cadet the elec clutch began to slip. how much should i tighten the clutch if at all?The electric clutch on my sears says to adjust the three nylon locknuts until the space between clutch plate and rotor measures .012%26quot; at all slot location cut in the side of the brake plate. That is all it says other than take it to the dealer. I have looked at mine and it is easy to find the nylon nuts and the slots. I am guessing here that they all use the same clutch. I know that they cost quiet a bit, around $250.00 Hope this helps some.
How do you change the clutch on a 2000 Toyota Solara SE V6 Manual?
Can you either guide me or forward me detailed instructions on how to install a manual clutch for a 2000 Solara V6? My girls cars' down and I'm broke and DIY is the only way to go!How do you change the clutch on a 2000 Toyota Solara SE V6 Manual?http://www.car-stuff.com/mmparts/toyota-
Link for the manual, dont try it without the manual. If this car is a rear drive car it is going to be allot easier than a front drive car, and I think it is a front drive.How do you change the clutch on a 2000 Toyota Solara SE V6 Manual?yes get a manual
this car is FWD
you will have to
remove the axles
remove the transmission
change the clutchHow do you change the clutch on a 2000 Toyota Solara SE V6 Manual?first you gotta be good with cars somewhat. I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and hit you with a shopping list first. You'll need a good tool set, lots of sockets, all metric, probably no std. since it's a yota.
2 jacks(1 to support engine, one to use to pull out trans, it's kinda heavy, it helps for breaks)
Pair of Jack stands, 4 is even better
Seal puller or pliers(change the axle seals, I didn't and had a bad leak so take my advice.)
New clutch kit(rockauto.com has awesome deals)
Trans fluid, probably dexron mercon III, usually is.
Drip pan.
Raise the front end of the car, support it along the frame rails, get it as high as you can, nothing sucks worse than not having enough room.
Pull off the front wheels. Unbolt the calipers and tie up to the top of the fenderwells, specifically the driver side since the trans will come out of that side. You can either remove the entire steering knuckle and shock/spring or leave it, it won't be in the way too much.
Under the hood, take out the batter(free up some room).
Anything you feel would get in your way, if you can get all the bolts out of the top of the transmission then great.
Feel around the transmission and disconnect any wiring. I believe there are 3. Vehicle speed sensor, reverse lights, and speedometer, could be only 2 if VSS and speedo are on the same, with new cars they usually are. Remove the nut that is on the front axle, usually a big 30+mm socket is required. A 3 jaw puller is a good tool to have so you can push out the splined axle from the hub. This will then allow you to yank out the CV axles. You'll probably have an intermediate shaft that idles on a bearing attached to the engine block. That should come off too. The idea is to get anything touching the transmission off of it...you knew that. You'll probably need to remove some of the inder fender lining, often there are acess panels, but who knows. I just assume you can figure that stuff out, if not then don't bother with this project. Anyway, back to the topic. At this point the only things attached to the transmission should be the clutch slave cylinder, shifting linkage(should be 2 or 3 cables coming from the firewall, pretty easy to remove), and of course the transmission mounts. one on top and one on the bottom/sideish area towards the front of the car. I can't be for sure but they stick out like a sore thumb so you can figure those out. Be sure to have the trans supported when you remove these, they should be the last thing removed as it will put stress on the input shaft of the transmission and could seriously screw it up. The last thing you want is to have to replace the trans. With that supported, remove the perimeter bolts that connect the transmission to the engine block, they go around in a circle. I would also like to add that you may have to remove the starter, never worked on a solara so I'm not positive, it varies. By now the trans should have a clear exit and should be supported by either you or the jack, I us a jack that is parallel with the engine and transmission so it can be pulled out with the aide of the wheels. It probably weighs about 80lb at least so be careful or get some help. Once it's out, remove the clutch, you'll have to hold the flywheel and use a big 1/2 ratchet because the motor will turn over. Remove the flywheel, have it turned, just something smart to do whenever you got it down this far. Finally it's a good idea to remove the pilot bearing in the end of the crank shaft. Don't bother getting a pulller. Instead, get a dowel of some sort that is roughly the same diameter as the hole in the bearing, it's gotta be somewhat close. Next get a bunch of paper towels and a small bucket/bowl of water, drench the paper towels and stuff as many as you can in the hole. Keep packing it with the dowel until it's so tight you have to tap them in, this will force the bearing out. Now lube up the new one slightly, line it up and tap it in by putting a socket or something over top of it. Put flywheel back on being careful not to get grease on it at all. Seriously, if you can don't even touch the surface. Torque to spec. You have to you may screw it up if you don't. Reciprocating things should always be torqued to spec. Second, put on the clutch with the clutch alignment tool that is usually supplied. YOu do this by sticking the splined tool into the clutch disk and then putting it on the flywheel(remember which side says this side up), with the tip of the alignment tool in the pilot bearing it should stay so you can put the pressure plate over the clutch. Tighten in a star pattern and torque to spec. Tighten evenly, not all the way at once. Do like increments of 25ft/lbs. with the trans out, remove the axle seals, just yank em out, smear a little lub on the new ones and tap em in with a pipe, don't hit them directly because you could damage them, they need to be hit in the center so a socket or pipe with an end of sorts needs to be used. I once used a chain link fence post with a hatchet to tap on in. Now just button everything back up. It's a lot easier than it looks and I have no doubt anyone that knows how to use tools could do this. The haynes manual is somewhat helpful but not very much. You just have to be able to look at things and remember how everything went back together but typically things like this are made to go back together one way and one way only. Hope that helped.

How do I make the clutch lever easier to pull in?
the clutch on my 1992 fzr 600 is really difficult to pull in and cramps my wrist? How can I fix this?How do I make the clutch lever easier to pull in?have you tried lubing the cable? go to a bicycle store or dirt bike shop and get some cable lube with the plastic attachment for best results.the pivot on the handle could be sticky too.unless someone has changed the springs, that clutch should be pretty easy to pull. they used to make 'power handles %26quot; for that model,which were basically bent in such a way that you could get your hand around it for a small hand they are ok. also adjusting the controls and handlebars to fit you well, can make a bit of a difference. keeping the cable lubed will make it last longer too. look closely at the cable,near where it slides in and out of the sleeve,it may be coming apart,and binding in the sleeve or handle. some cables have a nylon coating between the cable and sleeve that wrinkles when it gets old, making the cable tight in the sleeve.How do I make the clutch lever easier to pull in?whatever you do to fix it will cost in preformance.... Although, someone may have installed heavy clutch springs. Putting in lighter springs will make it easier to pull the lever in, but will also drastically reduce the grip of the clutch(it may slip) For normal never abusive riding, the clutch will never slip though unless it is bad. If you are not getting on the throttle all the time, get some really light springs from a manufacturer such as barnett clutches, or try OEM. A costly alternative is a hydraulic clutch setup, which will reduce clutch feel, but make the lever pull-able with a pinky finger that has broken bones in it. I say either get used to it, or find some lighter springsHow do I make the clutch lever easier to pull in?If is a hydraulic system then your slave cylinder piston may be stuck. If it is a manual system,you may be able to upgrade to a hydraulic system.How do I make the clutch lever easier to pull in?there should be an adjustmentHow do I make the clutch lever easier to pull in?Disconnect the cable from the lever on the engine and try it.

How much does it cost to replace a clutch on a Volvo S60R?
My S60R is leaking clutch fluid from transmission (I can see where it is coming out). Evidently not uncommon for this model. Evidently to find the leak means dismantling anyways and likely better off replacing entire clutch. Only 30,000 miles. UGHHHHow much does it cost to replace a clutch on a Volvo S60R?You are very fortunate to have covered 30K miles .
MIne covered 11k miles from brand new and the clutch shattered . This was replaced under warranty and another 11 k miles and the same thing happens with the outcome that though my car is still under warranty I had to pay for this . 800 Eur . The most odd thing is that this has always happened on the same day which is 20th February 2008 and 20th February 2009 with the exact milage .
Your problem is coming from the oil seals . Volvo gear boxes have a tendency of running hot through the emmision of the clutch . These clutches run hot and oil seals do not maintian the seal . Regretable to say that the whole unit has to be desmantled and all oil seal replaced . Whilst you are at it its best to have a look at the crankshaft oil seal . You will find this behind the fly wheel . Its best to replace it . There are certain bolts which you also have to replace and ensure that you tie these bolts according to the torque pressure specified .How much does it cost to replace a clutch on a Volvo S60R?Not uncommon? You probably fried the clutch trying to be cool.How much does it cost to replace a clutch on a Volvo S60R?S60R's are cool!
At 30k it should still be under warranty though?
Knowing Volvo it will be very expensive!
Sorry!

How much does a hydraulic clutch cost to buy and install?
i have a 94' Toyota T100 pickup and i think the clutch needs to be replaced because when i try to put it in gear i feel like i have to force the stick in just get it to go. i feel this is so because the clutch may not be engaging all the way in, therefore making the shifting an almost excruciating task. now i wonder how much will it cost me, if it is indeed my clutch that needs work.How much does a hydraulic clutch cost to buy and install?There is something called a clutch master cylinder. If it's low on fluid this is your problem. It must be refilled and bled (similar to brakes). When clutches go, you can't move at all, no matter what gear you pick. If your master cylinder or slave cylinder or fluid line is leaking, get it fixed and off you go. None of these items are expensive.How much does a hydraulic clutch cost to buy and install?that truck is 12 years old, probally needs the clutch plate replaced. The only clutch plate I had ever replaced was a datsun frontwheel drive, It was fairly easy, didn't even need to jack it up off the floor. I have no clue about a toyota pick-up. good luck.
I would think that the hydralics just need to be serviced and/or bled after installing the clutch plate.How much does a hydraulic clutch cost to buy and install?Kit should be around $130-200 plus labor . have you checked the fluid level ? usually when your clutch is starting to go it will either want to pull when the clutch is in or not pull at all .

On a manual transmission, can you shift gears without using the clutch?
I saw a guy do this on his Jetta and he said that you don't need to use the clutch as long as your speed is matched properly with the gear.
Nothing bad happened when he did it, but how is this possible ?On a manual transmission, can you shift gears without using the clutch?yes you can do it ,its called speed shifting but its hard on a transmission if you don't know how to match the rpm,s up with the speed,you can easily loose a gear doing this,we use to do it in the old mopars and Chevy's when we was drag racing,it takes time to learn this though,other wise ,its bye bye transmission,be careful if you try this,good luck.On a manual transmission, can you shift gears without using the clutch?yes....
he already told you.....On a manual transmission, can you shift gears without using the clutch?ground speed and match rpm's i drive a semi truck and its how i shift all 13 gears on a car with a syncro mesh trans its easier and no damage until you grind them.On a manual transmission, can you shift gears without using the clutch?SURE, TRUCK DRIVERS HARDLY EVER USE THE CLUTCH. MATCH ENGINE RPM TO DRIVE SHAFT SPEED AND IT'LL FALL RIGHT INTO GEAR.On a manual transmission, can you shift gears without using the clutch?yeah he explained it very well.. bikes are the same way. when you have a car for so long you learn where thos points are by feel. you still it to use the clutch to take offOn a manual transmission, can you shift gears without using the clutch?It is possible, as you have seen.
You will damage the syncro rings if you are not right on with your speeds.
It is much better on the transmission to use the clutch.
Your transmission will thank you.On a manual transmission, can you shift gears without using the clutch?yes u can but it will damage your transmissionOn a manual transmission, can you shift gears without using the clutch?Yup....I've done itOn a manual transmission, can you shift gears without using the clutch?YES YOU CAN!! My husband does it all the time!! You just gotta match the RPMs just right or it won't work!!On a manual transmission, can you shift gears without using the clutch?When you use the clutch it allows the transmission gears to slow down enough to engage the next gear. When you shift with out the clutch you need to attempt to match the engine speed with the transmission gear you intend to go into. The part inside the transmission called the synchronizer will assist but can not do it with out closely matching speeds. You have to be in motion to do this and some cars are easier than others to shift this way. If you want to shift down like 4th to 3rd, you would ease off the gas, pull it out of 4th, tap the gas pedal to bring rpms up a bit and slide shifter into 3rd.On a manual transmission, can you shift gears without using the clutch?He reached the optimum engine speed for that particular gear.
Each gear change is based on the engine speed (so my dad told me) and it involves listening to the engine whine too. What the clutch apparently does is sort of bypass the needed speed, so it doesn't matter what the speed is. I'm sure there are mechanics around here can explain it properly, but you can do it. If you want to try it, listen to the engine noise, while GENTLY pushing on the gear shift (not enough to force it, but enough to release it should it hit the magic speed) You'll find your gear shift will slip into neutral and if you give it a little more pressure you can slip it into the next gear. I'm sure there's a technical term for it, but I haven't a clue what it is.On a manual transmission, can you shift gears without using the clutch?Yes, it not that hard to do and it doen't hurt the trans. You can feel it in the shifter when the gears are lined up. It will be easy to put into gear when they are aligned. If they aren't aligned, the shifter won't go into gear unless you force it.
You just need to get used to the car and you can do it. It's even easier with a motorcycle.

Can you give me some advice on how to change a clutch cable?
My bike is stranded and i need to replace the cable to move it.
Honda VTX1300 2006.
I'm guessing the end that goes on the lifter is relatively simple but I have never looked at the clutch lever before.
Thanks for any help.Can you give me some advice on how to change a clutch cable?Good luck on push starting a vtx1300 anyway!
Put the cable in the handlebar side first, it's just a slip in end with a metal disc, and the cable routes thru the slit in the lever. Run the cable to the casing side, and you'll see the lever where the other side attaches. Use a flat head screwdriver to push the lever forward by hand, and slip the cable in the slot on the lever. When you let go of the lever, the slack will tighten up on the cable. Be sure you route the whole cable as the old one was, to insure theres no obsrtuctions, or pinching of the cable along the way. Adjust the cable at the bottom to take out any initial slack if needed, and do the final adjustments at the clutch lever adjuster.Can you give me some advice on how to change a clutch cable?np....glad to help! ride safe

Can you give me some advice on how to change a clutch cable?its fairly straight forward, it just has and end piece to clip it on. you dont actually need the clutch to get it home. just get a rolling start and click it in to gear. and get neutral before you stop. its easy enough.Can you give me some advice on how to change a clutch cable?One tip ?do the routing before you take your old cable out.
