CLUTCH CONTROL
REMOVAL



1. Loosen clutch adjuster so clutch cable is fully slack. See 1.11 CLUTCH.

2. See Figure 2-91. Remove the retaining ring (2) and pivot pin (4). Remove the clutch cable anchor pin (1) from the hand lever.
Awarning
Wear safety glasses or goggles when removing or

installing retaining rings. Retaining rings can slip from the

pliers and could be propelled with enough force to cause

serious eye injury. (00312a)

3. Drain transmission lubricant and remove fill plug dipstick. Remove transmission side cover. See 6.5 CLUTCH RELEASE COVER.

5. Pull inner ramp (2) and ramp coupling (3) out of side cover. Hold inner and outer ramps together to keep balls from falling free.

6. Rotate the inner ramp to a position which will allow the coupling to be disconnected from the inner ramp lever arm. Disconnect coupling from inner ramp. Disconnect cable end (4) from coupling.

7. Back out threaded cable fitting (5) from side cover.



INSTALLATION

2. Connect cable end to ramp coupling (3). Rotate ramps for best access and install coupling on inner ramp (2). Place ramp assembly in position in side cover.
AwARNING
Wear safety glasses or goggles when removing or installing retaining rings. Retaining rings can slip from the pliers and could be propelled with enough force to cause serious eye injury. (00312a)

3. Install retaining ring (1). Position retaining ring opening to the right of the outer ramp tang (the stop that prevents rotation).

4. Place new gasket on side cover and install, fully tightening the clutch cable fitting. See 6.5 CLUTCH RELEASE COVER.
