East TN | Going to the dealership in the morning to let them replace my clutch...I am going to ask for the old parts back and then I will post pictures for all to see....What should I look for in the way of wear??? Is it just thinning of the metal? Or is it scrapes and gouges? I really don't know what I'm looking for.... |

New Bohemia, Va | just like your brake pads it is the thickness of the material on the discs. I need to look at the manual to see what we are dealing with in the way of set and the actuation of the pressure plate. Gouges will occur if there is forgeign material in there basket as well.
Hmmm - the inspection procedures are in Chapter 9 of the manual, interesting read, I might be doing mine sometime soon, well, maybe in the next 40 or 50,000 miles.

New Bohemia, Va | I had to go look a the manual and it makes a point on early clutch failure where it says that it will slip if additives were previously used. This makes sense because the additive will soak into the clutch material and you are immediately at the point of no return, you will have to replace the clutch to correct the situation. This may be the overall cause, knowingly, or unknowingly, of early clutch failures that we have read about. The bottom-line for me is, don't experiment.

Why are you replacing the clutch? Is it slipping on you? Or what.

If you pull your clutch apart make sure you don't mix the plates up. Keep them in the same order as they came up. Thats if you don't know. |

East TN | The full details are on the first page of this thread, but "BASICALLY" due to; feeling a vibration randomly while downshifting, the clutch pull is at maximum travel, and it is D@MN near impossible to get Neutral when the motor is hot...It is actually easier to shut the motor off and find Neutral than it is with the motor running....But all these are when the motor is HOT....When the motor is COLD it shifts and find Neutral with no problems... What si the part number for the Barnett Clutch for a 2009 Vision??? I was told it would be cheaper than the factory one!!

| Schmoe, check out LLoydz website. He has the Barnett Clutch Plates and Friction disks as well as the upgraded barnett clutch diaphram spring and billet plate. You could also upgrade to the S&S/Lloydz Lockup clutch kit. |

| I wonder how much pulling pounds or pressure it take to pull the clutch in. The only reason I ask is cause h-d use the same style and there's is 5 times easier. Yes I know we have more torque then them. But there big inch motors should be close to our torque or more. It would be fun if had a dozen springs in front of you so you could do a teats and find out what could be easier and better. |
