I was out wheeling with our club yesterday when I my clutch pedal hit the floor and would not return. Checked the MC fluid resevoir and found the fluid clean and full. Next, I pulled the slave cylinder out to ensure it had pressure on the plunger, it did. I reached into the bell housing through the slave cylinder port and felt for the shift fork. It was there, but seemed to have a lot of play in it. After burning my fingers several times, I centered the fork dimple up, aligned the slave plunger back into the dimple and bolted it back up. I put a small bungee on the clutch pedal to keep slight pressure on it so that it didn't return all the way up, in case this was allowing the plunger to leave the dimple, just a thought. Anyway, I was able to drive the 100 miles back home without any trouble. The last time something like this happened, I dropped the tranny to find that the little retaining clip that holds he right side of the shift fork to a ball post on the housing had broken and fallen off. That time, the fork hit the pressure plate and both got chewed up a bit. I thought that this clip was just for assembly, however I don't know for sure and I can't find a good diagram or write up on the tranny to find out. Anyone else know? Have you had this kind of problem and if so, what was the resolution? I have a big ride planned in a couple of weeks and I don't want to pull the tranny if I don't have to. Suggestions (besides upgrading to a decent tranny)? Not sure if I was just lucky in getting it centered and back together or if that should take care of it.
Thanks!
