Hi again folks!
Well the 89 Kat has been running VERY strong for the last few weeks and I have been taking long runs around lake Okeechobee here in S florida.
My Ex-mechanic who I have found out was a thief and a turd suposedly replaced my clutch plates, metal and friction, and ever since then it has done two wierd things:
1) It wont let me into neutral until the oil is super hot...after running long and hard and only if I have the idel rpms down to 800 rpm or lower.
2) There is a wierd growl of sorts as I engage the clutch
Neither of these things were happenning before the clutch rebuild but I cant go back to him - I dont TRUST him at all.
Clutch is hydraulic so other than bleeding it a few times - there is no adjustments.
What would you do to check it out????
Was thinking of going back to synthetic oil (he F'd up and went with regular oil) and while I have it drained might pop the cover off and see what the clutch looks like. Gotta be honest - not sure what I am looking for.
Thanks for any help/ideas.
