clutch problem

rayweipu · 08-12-2002, 04:02 PM

after i replaced my Clutch Masters Clutch (HDSB2500), i've found that sometimes the clutch is hard(which feels really good) and sometimes it gets really soft. when it is soft, it feels like the clutch's not working and i wouldn't be able to shift. then i looked up a sheet came with the clutch package(hydraulic tech advisory), it's saying that "eliminating the buffer and/or the master cylinder check valve, you can eliminate these porblems. you will also find that clutch engagement is much quicker." well, i'm not understanding this whole sheet very well but it looks like it's telling me getting a steel-braied line would solve my problem. any thoughts??

also, sometimes its really hard to shift and sometimes shifting feels pretty damn good, and i have no clue why it's like that.

can someone help me out here? thanks.

it's the restrictor valve, go to vfaq.com and look at the restrictor removal.

Using a steel braided line is one of the best things to do when running an upgraded clutch anyway. The one I got from RRE eliminated the restrictor just by installing it.
