Can you adjust the clucthes in a turbo 400?

clucthes no, bands yes ---------- Addition to above: Clutch pack clearance can be adjusted by using different thickness of steel plates, they are available in .077 and .090 and there are some made of heat treated kolene steel available in .060 thickness, you can mix different thickness steel plates to achieve the desired clearance -- usually about .008 to .010 PER CLUTCH, which means in a clutch pack with 5 clutches you multiply 5 times 8 and get ,040" for your minimum and 5 times 10 and get .050" for maximum, this isn't rocket science and if you were shooting for the middle at .045 and juggled different thickness steels and ended up with .055" clearance you'd be fine, the fiber clutches start out .080" thick and as they wear the clearance increases so .005" on the loose side wouldn't bother me a bit, running them too tight can cause them to drag and get hot so I would stay with .008 per clutch in the clutch pack as bare minimum especially in the direct clutch.


Where on a vehicle clutch system would you measure the clearance?

How do ya adjust a clutch pack on a 84 shadow VT700c?

The clutch is non-adjustable. It uses hydraulic fluid to release the clutch. If you are experiencing a dragging clutch, check your plates for warpage. This bike uses a 'slipper' type clutch so having the correct plates in certain places is important. If you have not changed your plates and they are the originals, check that the clutch fluid doesnt have air in it.


What is a direct shift?

a direct shift is a type of dule gear box, by having 2 clutches faster gear change is possible. The outer clutch pack drives gears 1, 3, and 5 (and reverse). The inner clutch pack drives gears 2, 4, and 6. Instead of a standard large dry clutch, each clutch pack is a collection of four small wet interleaved clutch plates.

Why is there operating clearance between the clutch release bearing and spring diaphragm?

If there were no operating clearance the clutch release bearing would constantly be in contact with the spring diaphragm causing wear on both the diaphragm and the bearing itself, also the bearing pushing on the diaphragm could cause the clutch friction plate to not be fully engaged and slip.


Where on the system is this clearance usually measured?

In order to prevent continuous rotation of the release bearing - this prevents premature wear of the bearing To ensure that the full spring pressure and clamping force is applied at the clutch contact faces The clearance is normally measured at the clutch pedal
