team, sweet avitar again, mmmm wallydogs, anyway, its internal you must take the clutch apart and first clean it, and hopefully you wont have to replace anything, if you do im sure the sponsors should have what you need

You probably have a 27 year old clutch. Replace it - I think you are well past the "rebuildable" or "cleanable" stage

I am going to try and clean and lube it, if that doesn't fix it then it will have to be replaced. How much for a new one from mikesmotortoys?

Factory OEM replacement is $339.18 "if" available.

Well after taking the clutch off to replace the crank seal I took the clutch apart to see what the issue was only to find the "ramp rollers" had flat spots on them so I am assuming that when the ramps would go to full extension they would land on the flat spots get hung up.

So, is there a fix, can a guy replace the rollers, if so how do you take the center section off so I can get the rollers off. Any advise besides replacement would be nice but I know that I will eventually need to replace it, although I am hoping for another answer.
