thats the clutch side corect?

if so you need to make shure the linkage is hooked on corectly, it can be tricky the first time you do it. Make shure you dont over tighten the bolts, them little 8mm bolts strip EASY!. I have done it many times.

ya those bolts are only 7ft lbs and they strip VERY easy.

before i put any gasket on i coat them with wd-40 that way when you remove your case next time it will be less likely to rip the gasket. i do this on all of my bikes. i usually only have to replace my original gaskets since the factory doesn't do this. it basically keeps the gasket from baking to the case.

ya, but for a guy that runs his quad on nitro methane. I think he mite have things figured out.

Im going to coat my gaskets w/ wd-40 from now on, Becaue buying a new 15$ gasket every time I want to inspect my clutch gets old.
