I suggest that you get a professional mechanic to diagnose the problem first.
Just a few days ago you assured us that it was NOT slipping and seemed rather indignant that it was even suggested.
The two statements above likely are NOT related, as the plates themselves make NO noise. The noise comes from the bearings and changing those is not quite so easy a task.
I believe you are about to get in over your head.
You do have slack in the clutch cable, right? I think you said YES to that once before. |
well i didn't think it was slip at first, it did not really feel like one and now it does. , plus according to the sites on how to test your clutch, it was fine. however i dont think any of those test were for when it was slipping at the higher rpm's they were pretty much to test from off the line. it up shifts great and downshifts great it is only the higher rpm's where it starts to slip and has got worse.
today when it started to feel like it lost torque and i give it gas it reved up for a good second or two and than takes off again. when before it would take off as soon as i gave it some more gas.
yes i have between 10 and 15mm of slack in the cable.. think it was on the higher side. if all i need to change out is the plates no biggie. if i need to do any thing else, i will be in over my head..
