lee_28 Posted March 23, 2012 Report Share Posted March 23, 2012 hi all, my friend has just brought himself a 04 gas gas txt pro, the clutch is stupidly stiff to pull in, was wondering if any one else has had this problem or noes what it could be. i have drained the system and bled it with new fluid just incase it was some thing simple along with changing the gear box oil. any help would be very appreciated thanks lee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duggan Posted March 23, 2012 Report Share Posted March 23, 2012 Had this problem on a 2004 last week, turned out the clutch plates had swollen. The complete pack was only 0.2mm out. But that's was enough to cause the problem. Fired another clutch in and all was good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjb Posted March 23, 2012 Report Share Posted March 23, 2012 Check the hose isn't trapped or damaged. Also make sure your using the correct oil Dextron II. other oils have been known to damage the rubber seal in the clutch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djdenzil Posted March 23, 2012 Report Share Posted March 23, 2012 If you replace the clutch pack with a DP clutch from GGUK, dont use ATF, it swells the clutch pack and you'll be back to square one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This brings the cutch pack in to the correct hieght. Any Gas Gas dealer should fix you right up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bricklane Posted March 26, 2012 Report Share Posted March 26, 2012 Rebuilt an o7 250...put a new dph clutch why we were at it.... we then added atf oil and it made terrible noise...after racking our brains thinking we put something back wrong we noticed on the clutch box a big white sticker stating "do not use ATF oil !!!" put normal bike gear oil in and it's all fine no noise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
