Well with the start of the Hannigan trike conversion just days away I pondered whether I really needed to do a clutch change beforehand. I noticed some oil stains and streaking at the transmission/clutch housing seam but just ignored it as minor seepage. Before my last big trip I drilled a weep hole in the clutch housing and got some drainage of trans lub which amounted to maybe ¼ teaspoon or less. The clutch wasn’t slipping, it didn’t seem all that bad, what do I do? Fast forward to last week, I decided at the last minute there was no way I wanted to do a clutch change after the trike changeover so parts were ordered, I already had a Siebenrock clutch in hand for future use so away I did venture. Things went fairly smooth at dissy except for the transmission removal which was hitting the frame before clearing the mount, (see second picture). Once inside I realized how oily it really was. The clutch plate didn’t look all that bad but I think it was only a matter of time. Engine oil seal wasn’t leaking but the trans input shaft seal was. To be continued…………..
