I pulled the trans tonight. What thinks you about me splines?

[Rob]

Gorgeous!

[Zombie Master]

Should I pull that clutch push rod out for a cleaning?

[Rob]

It would not hurt.
I would pull it just to check out the throwout bearing.
Looking at RealOEM, it appears that you have the new-style throwout set-up? The one WITHOUT the self-destructing roller bearing?
Hopefully, it looks like this:



I was wondering about the tip of your pushrod. I know that it is not good when they wear to a point, and I don't remember what a brand new one looks like, but yours is quite flat on the tip.
Just make sure to put a small dab of moly on the tip, and remember to only lube the male splines on the input shaft. Any lube that you put on the clutch assembly will be pushed into it, and possibly (probably?) end up on your clutch friction plate.

I am sure we will get some more opinions.

You might also want to service the rear-most pivot bearing, #14 in the image.

[Zombie Master]

Yea that's the one. I cleaned up the arm and bearing and re-greased the bearing and put it in a plastic bag. Got a new rubber boot #5. Also have a swing arm boot,though the one on the bike looks pretty good. Does it matter how you hook up the neutral switch?

[Rob]

Does it matter how you hook up the neutral switch?

Two wires? No. If it did, the spades would be different widths.

Do you have a new set of wires going to it? Mine had been on there so long, they were bent almost permanently. There was no guessing which side they went on.

[Zombie Master]

Yea I guess it's kind of obvious by the bend in the wires. I must have put some electrical tape around them to keep them from touching things. Little confusing. It was 25 years or so ago.

Did you clean those perfect splines for the photo? If not, you have the cleanest airhead I've ever seen.

Except from the oil leak from the rear main or oil pump cover?

[Zombie Master]

Yea I cleaned them. There seems to be some grease still on the splines. So whatever I used worked. I've got some of that Honda 60 Molly grease. I'll be careful not to let any get into the clutch.

Does it look like I need to pull the clutch and change seals? That bit of wetness on the bottom of the clutch basket is some WD 40 I sprayed just to help clean up. There is some oily grunge on the lower part of the crank case but that is 25 years worth.

Should I pull out the clutch push rod for a cleaning? Would I lube it with gear oil as well as molly grease on the tip? Do both ends of the push rod get the molly treatment?

Thanx

[Rob]

AFAIK, only the tip engaging the clutch needs the lube.
I believe the shaft is lubricated by the gearbox.

25 years? I am tempted to suggest replacing both the rear main, and the oil pump seals. And don't forget the o-ring on the clutch carrier (formerly known as the flywheel).
