Arrow Re: Is this clutch still useable????

A couple of items that need more explanation:

1. The toilet paper trick is used to remove the pilot bearing that goes in the back of the crank. To do this, get about a half roll of cheap toilet paper, please make sure none of it has been used already , and soak it in water. Then, pack the hole (inside of bearing wear trans shaft fits into) full of toilet paper. Use something round that barely fits in the hole to smash the toilet paper into the hole; I used the clutch alignment tool. This will compress the toilet paper and force the bearing out. After a couple of times, you should see the bearing starting to come out. Keep doing this until the bearing comes all the way out. Some people have used grease, but that is messy and can get on the clutch.

2. To replace the input shaft seal, the front of the trans has to come apart. I don’t remember all the bolts I took off to do this, but I remember that the whole front of the trans came off. Put the tail shaft on the ground so that the trans is straight up. Once you have this cover of, you will see all the shafts & gears. It is a little intimidating, but none of the gears or shafts will fall out. You will see the shaft seal after you take the trans apart. It is like a wheel bearing seal and is removed the same way. I recommend having a friend hold the trans while you do this. Keep everything clean and get the trans back together ASAP. Be very careful and take your time. You will have to use RTV to seal the trans back together. I used red RTV on mine. I did this about six years and 30,000 miles ago and have not had any problems with it. Someone else may be better able to explain how to replace the trans input shaft seal.

Good luck, Shimaze

SH** NO! Go to advanced auto or autozone and get a clutch kit. There about $120 bucks, because if you just leave it in it will break making hella problems. Exspecialy if it gets some of the metal chips inside the gears. BYE BYE tranny. So go with a new one for sure.
