Clutch Bolt Snapped/Short Cable

[God_Bot]

I just got my bottom end gasket but I'm still waiting on a new bolt for the clutch. Does anyone think I can run the quad with just the four bolts in or is that going to totally screw with the clutch?




Well I finally got my timing chain replaced and reset the timing, but I've got to wait on a new bottom side gasket before I can fire it up.

I also managed to do this. Would one of those easy outs work or anyone have any other ideas?

Oh and the clutch cable seems to be 1/4 inch too short now and it doesn't want to extend anymore so I can hook it back up. Did I install something wrong or is there another problem?

extractor time...should take that out fairly easily
as far as the clutch cable goes...are you sure the pinion is in the same position? just figured maybe it moved??

im actually quite perplexed on how it sheared the bolt and didnt rip the aluminium threads outta the hub instead...weird

Yeah, my roommate said that's what I get for having Alum studs in a steel housing, I just laughed and told him it was actually an aluminum housing.

It could very well be the pinion seems how I didn't keep very good track of how it was when I took it out. Any suggestions on getting it back to right?

Anyone know how much damage would be caused if I ran with a missing clutch bolt? The dealer can't order another one for a few weeks.

i would be willing to guess that since the clutch won't be engaging and disengaging evenly, and with the same amount of pressure, you'll burn up your fibers.

Okay, I was thinking something like that'd probably happen. Thanks, I ordered a new bolt from a dealer in Wisconsin and am hoping to have it by Friday
