Clutch Push Rod Seal

**Top Cat** · 11-12-2015, 05:06 PM

My clutch push rod seal came loose as it did on my 2007 Nomad. I took things apart, yes I can take things apart, it is putting them back together where I run into trouble

Anyway, I didn't do whatever it is your supposed to do to the clutch lever

Just cleaned everything up good and put some adhesive sealer on the seal and put it back in place. Waited for 24 hours and put everything back together.
My question, when I put the cover thing back on I had to push it pretty hard to get the pushrod in far enough so I could screw the 3 screws in holding the cover.
After I got everything ready to go I started the bike and it shifted so smooth and quiet it scared me. Took it up the road and went through the gears, it seems OK but is shifting way better than it ever has.
Things don't usually improve when I work on them but this should be good to go , right

Don't overthink it Tim, You must have done it right or else it wouldn't work at all. Sometimes jobs come out better than anticipated. Perhaps cleaning everything up helps, usually brakes & clutches wear so slowly over time that you don't even notice thats its not as good as it once was until you replace some stuff.
