Topic: Could use some good clutch advice..

[Joe]

I apologize for being redundant, but I want to be sure I'm not missing something before I install my clutch again.

Quick story:  I just bought new fiber plates and soaked them in ATF for 14 hours or so before install.  The bike ran fine until I got up to about 60 mph or so, then it started to slip.  After making some pressure plate adjustments, and re adjusting my clutch a couple times, it seemed to catch alot better, but as soon as I got it up to highway speed again, it slipped

I just pulled the clutch again, and the fibers look fine but a bit dry, so I'm gonna soak em in honda 10 w 40 for at least 24 hours and see how that goes.

__Is there something else that could be wrong?

-I checked my clutch springs, and they're fine.
-my steel plates look straight
-am I missing something??

Hey Joe, not that its that crucial but what is the bike? And why  soak in ATF.  I have always run the  sohc 750s 34 years now and soak my clutch in the oil I run in the bike. 20 50 ,where as the clutch and engine get the same oil in the lube system. I cant imagine putting tranny fluid in my engine not to say you are pouring it in but  you know what I mean. good luck. Craig in Maine
