1. It is obvious to me that my clutch needs to be replaced on my blaster and I want to replace it "the right way" so it will last for a long time. Should I replace just the friction plates and springs or should I get new drive plates too. Price isnt much of a factor but I dont like buying things I dont really need. Which manufacturer makes the best kits.
2. Is the clutch arm supposed to pull out of the bottom end freely when the cable is disconnected? Does anyone have any close-up pics of the bottome left side?
Any help is greatly appreciated!!!!!

 

I used EBC for my Blaster back in the day. Since you are looking for a long time product get the whole thing. The plates are a must, and your stock springs could be weak. I will check my pictures to see if i have any pics of the left bottom end side.

I would suggest getting a Blaster service manual.... They answer many questions. When you do remove the set up, do not loose the little ball behind the push arm [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/img] and do not torque the spring bolts down to much. Learn from my mistakes.....

 

friction or drive? (plates)

 

I replaced all of the plates in the basket. Made for a clean instalation.

 

I got the whole kit from my local dealer for $80. I have heard barnett is the best kit out there so thats what I ordered.
