renegade master Posted May 2, 2015 Report Share Posted May 2, 2015 Hi All, Just wondering about montesa clutch drag fix? I think the clutch is slipping too! is there a better clutch pack that one can buy that helps this drag? Cheers guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chuck4788 Posted May 3, 2015 Report Share Posted May 3, 2015 Hopefully not slipping. I've two clutches damage by using the wrong oil and had to replace the frictions. I have a CR250R clutch pack in my 315R with dimpled steels and it is IMO a fantastic clutch, I've used the ELF HTX740 oil but switched to Valvoline Dextron VI ATF (synthetic) because the Elf is difficult to find and expensive in my area.

furse Posted May 3, 2015 Report Share Posted May 3, 2015 Cr 250 plates always sorted mine, putoline light gear oil was fine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks so far for the help guys! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a 2001 montesa 315r! so what year of cr250r clutch kit will fit it? Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winters Posted May 25, 2015 Report Share Posted May 25, 2015 A friend of mine helped me with my clutch concerns and we tried different oils, amount of fluid, and then he removed 2 clutch springs so instead of the 6 spring set up I am running 4 springs and my clutch is smooth as butter. Belray gear saver oil and factory specs for fluid amount. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
renegade master Posted June 5, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 5, 2015 Ok update! clutch was slipping and slipping badly, thats why there was alot of clutch drag, this montesa 315r was hard to tell or spot the clutch slipping (not like gas gas while trucking along you can hear and feel it slipping) the monty just reved up a bit but it took someone watching the back wheel to see if it spun out but it didnt, so went online and bought a clutch kit with the steel dimpled plates as well, and fited it in no time, put some dex III in and its working awsome! apart from a small friction noise when you first pull in the clutch (hopfully because its new!) and hoping that might go away after a bit of use! found out that is the 87-89 CR250/500 clutch that fits 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldnslo Posted July 25, 2015 Report Share Posted July 25, 2015 I don't know if you can buy it outside of the States but GM Auto Trak II transfer case oil is great in the clutch. Smooth as glass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
