Hi there, I am currently repairing my 9R after a lowside and I found out that the shifter shaft is bent. From what I could see in the manuals the clutch needs to come out first, which is something I don't really want to do... Is there any way to get this shaft out with the clutch in place?? Cheers, Olivier | ||

I'm afraid the answer to the original question is no as far as I know. The clutch drum has to be removed so that you can get to the two arms and release the shift shaft. Even if you could manage to get it out with the clutch in place, replacing it would be enormously fiddly and probably quicker to remove the clutch in the first place. | ||

Olivier, You can get away with this: open the clutch hub nut. Pull the hub with all the clutch disks out of the clutch basket. This will allow You to remove the primary chain from the basket and the basket itself without having to open the primary sprocket nut. Then You can remove the shifter shaft assy. Best regards Alex | ||

I wouldn't attempt it myself unless I had a shop manual....call Daves, I think they are about $50. It's money well spent if you are going to do your own work. The one for my Uly was very well done and very easy to use. It's one of the best I've seen. It takes most of the guess work out of almost any repair/maint. job. I also bought the parts list, it was also about $50...seemed like alot for what I got, but it has alot of very good exploded dwg's in it. It is also very complete and easy to use. | ||

Thanks gents! Actually I do have the manuals already, but when it comes to the clutch you need a lot of specific tools which I do not have. So I'll have a look at what you're saying Alex. On the other hand I might as well leave the shaft in place and just change the casing (the shaft is not bent a lot), but I am concerned about the seal not sealing properly anymore. Cheers, Olivier |
