CluTch adjustment

[Rabbitist]

Hey guys my clutch doesnt seem to be working right (jumps forward when clutch pulled in in first and kicked off) its a 2000 ec250 i am wondering is there any way of adjusting it? If i take the cover off at the end of the hydraulic cable can i adjust it there? Thanks for any advice luke

Usually, that's caused by the trans fluid you're using. The clutch plates stick together until the trans fluid heats up.

Try switching fluid brands.

+1 on trans fluid. my 03 does the same thing when its cold. i put in 0w40, helped some, but still sticks a little when cold. you may also have a little notching on your basket, which may be causing a little sticking.

AJP clutch lids are plastic. You can go with an aftermarket aluminum one...
