Putoline Nano Trans

Best to carry out the Beta clutch fix detailed here on tc before anything else

[Robert Baker]

Have done the clutch plate clean up and left out two springs as suggested and still experience clutch drag.

  Will try other oils.  Maybe I should go with automatic gearbox oil.

    Thanks for your replies

Check the push rod clearance and bearing condition as well as clutch fluid condition and bleeding. If the release mechanism isn't in good condition you'll get drag regardless of the oil used.

 

I'd also 2nd nano trans, 300v is also fine, ATF is good for avoiding drag but will make the clutch less progressive.

Another vote for Putoline Nanotrans. About the only oil I didn't try when I had the Beta was ATF.

Thanks for your help.  I will give Putolene Nanotrans a try as it seems the favourite oil of everyone who has been kind enough to help.

 Also I will check for air in the hydraulics.

                                             Thanks again.
