Thought it was the
Clutch Cable on my 2004 Chopper. Removed cable all ok.
Checked
Clutch Pack thru derby cover -- all ok.
Pulled
'clutch cable cover plate' at tranny -- OMG!
Photos show
clutch "throw out" bearing blew apart and pieces all over!
Carefullly picked out every piece and metal fragment I could find.
Went to the Harley Dealer, looked at their parts diagram and realized what happened: lost the bearings, bearing holder and clip.
Lucky Bastard!
All broken parts accounted for in the
'clutch cable cover plate'
9 needle bearings, 1 clip and fragments of bearing holder, see photos.
Hope this never happens to you...
Look carefully at the left side shaft: notice near the end of the center rod it has no bearings between the two round disk spacers and the retainer clip is missing, compare to next photo.
New parts installed: 2 Spacers, bearings and holder, retainer clip.
The bad parts:
PS: Thanks "Kaptin Amerika" for quick response and sending me a clutch cable. I will keep it on hand in case I need it someday... :flag:
and IMHO I would have replaced my clutch throw out Assembly and bearing with the "beefier" Baker version:
If I knew about it at the time. (so far my Harley OEM version new part(s) are working fine)
