markygas Posted October 16, 2005 Report Share Posted October 16, 2005 check all bolts are tight around clutch basket. sounds like problem i had with pro 05. one of the bolts were slack and hitting casing. did you notice any score marks on inside of casing? did you notice any metal filings when you dropped oil?

dabs alot Posted October 17, 2005 Report Share Posted October 17, 2005 I'm no "pro" on the Pro, but I think that if the clutch master cylinder piston is not retracting far enough for the hole in the casting to open up it could cause this problem. (Am I correct on this guys??) Have you tried adjusting the piston plunger on the clutch lever? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gasserboy Posted October 17, 2005 Report Share Posted October 17, 2005 If it is what went wrong with my 02 i would say its the clutch plates. Change them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
