I replaced my clutch cable last week (the stock one broke) and I am now not sure about the feel and adjustment. I don't remember how the old one felt, but the new one only starts to move the quad after the lever is 1/2 too 3/4 the way out. In any car or truck that I have owned this ment the clutch was not long for life.
The new cable was the same length. I had to make the cable as long as possible to get it to fit in. There is also no slack (Free Play)in the the lever at all ??

Is my clutch on the way out. Should I get the Wood springs on the way ??
What type of plates/disc should I buy.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/img]

 

you must have slack in the cable. this is the only way to know that the clutch is fully engaged and not slipping. if there is no slack in the cable, this means the clutch may very well be slipping a bit, same effect as pulling the clutch lever slightly. this will wear you clutch disks and cause lack of power to the ground.

the RWR springs are definitely recommended, to minimize clutch slip in drags races which causes premature disk wear. to inpect disks and determine if you need to replace the fibers - remove the entire clutch package and measure thickness of the stack of disks - if it measures less than 1.0827" then you need new fibers. I use stock replacements from dealer.
pay attention that the last disk goes into its own set of grooves in the basket - you'll see when you remove the cover, it must go back togehter this way, it serves as a wear limit to protect the steel disks when fibers are almost gone.
