PWG123 Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 (edited) Right basically just fitted a new 6 puk clutch.Nothing wrong with the clutch it works perfectly.When at full chat and trying to change gear mainly going into 4th from 3rd its asif theirs a wall and even if I put pressure on the stick hard it won't go in, I have to wait for the Rev's to die before it'll engage. Any idea what could be the issue?Thanks Edited March 29, 2014 by PWG123 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mad Mike EP82 Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 (edited) Why would u go frm 4th to 3rd at full throttle that's stupid ;) Is it just those gears?Did you do clutch yourself?I would be looking at selector first if that's ok might be something inside Edited March 29, 2014 by Mad Mike EP82 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
maddox710 Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 Maybe a bent fork, I've seen before a couple of times were a cracked or bent clutch forks make for very tough gear changes. After all they do see of action Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Glanza-Ben Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 Is it a spec 6 clutch Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Liam_D Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 Mine also does this and has for a while. Mines a blitz active clutch though. I've always just thought that it was the characteristics of the clutch as I've drove a few cars with hardcore clutches and they all do the same. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DevonGT Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 My Helix does a similar thing from 4th to 3rd and 2nd is hard to get unless at low speed. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PWG123 Posted March 31, 2014 Author Share Posted March 31, 2014 (edited) Hello guys thanks for the reply's. It's a AP competition 6 puk clutch. Fitted it my self, but the clutch works fine and is really good. it does the gear change thing intermittently sometimes its spot on and other times it dosent want to go in, i've sit still with engine running and put clutch down and changed gears and it feels like its catching something and you have to apply some pressure and then it'll pop in and then be free moving. Cheers Edited March 31, 2014 by PWG123 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Glanza-Ben Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 I.have this issue with a spec 6 clutch and alot of others do aswell I know it ain't the same clutch but same problems, mine will go down the gears some times and other times it won't also my biting point changes often Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JayJ Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 I have Helix fast road kit and can comfirm this issue too. If you accelerate hard and try to change from 3rd to 4th, the gear won't go in before the revs drop 1000-2000rpm. Fork was also changed with the clutch, so it won't be the problem. Maybe the cluth travel is too short and makes it hard to change on high revs? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PWG123 Posted April 2, 2014 Author Share Posted April 2, 2014 Yeah exactly the same my biting point keeps changing, and 4th is now fine and second is a bitch. Yeah it was a whole clutch kit so forks and everything were changed. Bloody annoying losing speed in gear changes. I find going down is ok as long as the revs are up.

JayJ Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 I'm going to try a braided clutch line next, but it's not on my priority list at the moment Quote Link to post Share on other sites
