Clutch Questions

[MsHap]

OK So I my clutch on my 1996 Tracker is wearing. It slips alittle in fourth.
Anyway, today I could not get it to change gears after driving it for 25miles.
It acted like the cable was too loose. I tried tightening the cable some but it still would not let me change gears. I had to start the car in 1st and creap along.

Does this sound like something that would happen with a worn clutch?
On a motorcycle, you will always beable to disengage the clutch it will just work less and less as it wears.

OK, second question.
Do I have to completely pull the tranny to get the clutch out or can I half ass it with everything still on the truck but slid back?

Maybe this is your problem. http://www.suzuki-forums.com/suzuki-...ghlight=clutch

No
I did not replace the clutch.

Ok, I would guess that it's not clutch related. So it shifts fine then when it's off?

[MsHap]

Yes it shifts when it is off and I can select a single gear and start it but it is going forward as soon as the starter engages.

I am sure it is the clutch.

Thats weird mayby the slpine on the clutch is f'ed.

[MsHap]

Well I would think that would just cause a no contact situation?

It's simple...does the clutch fork arm MOVE significantly when you depress the pedal full travel with at least a 1/2" of free play at the pedal top? If it doesn't, it's a cable issue.

IF the arm moves...it's an internal clutch problem.

I think I feel the arm moving. It feels different as my foot aproaches the floor now. Almost like it will stay down like it passes a halfway point.
Not sure if any of this makes sense. I am in the middle of a motor swap on my streetbike. I am trying not to get my computer dirty

It's a two person operation / inspection.
