ultrahawg Posted January 8, 2018 Report Posted January 8, 2018 newbie here trying to get my clutch fixed...I had a very reputable shop rebuild my transmission and it's great..while it was down I had him to also go ahead and install all new clutch parts and like a few I've read on here, the clutch pedel is about 3" or so off the floor and not back to the top where it belongs..I showed him the commets about cutting the rod (6-24-1) but he's not into making up parts to get it to work..he's searching for the correct parts to make it right..two questions..is there another or correct part that needs to be changed in order to get the clutch pedal back to the top? and if not approx what length did you add to the part Rod 6-24-1 to get the pedal back to the top ? my mechanic is on the search for the correct parts..I'm looking for answers too..thanks in advance, ..Ron Quote
Flatie46 Posted January 8, 2018 Report Posted January 8, 2018 Mine had a similar problem, the " over the center spring" was out of adjustment. I think that was what it was called. Try searching that and see what ya get. Quote

I sold my FXR back in '04 when I bought my Ultra. I had missed it badly since. The guy sold it to called me 2years ago outta the blue and offered it back, he had been in a bad work place accident and couldn't ride it anymore. I quickly brought him cash. I sure am glad its back home. I don't have to explain if you own one. 2 Quote
