[QUOTE="PapaUtah, post: 355276, member: 212"] Skooter, I would replace all the diaphram spring, clutch and friction plates for sure. Check the pressure plate, clutch boss and primary driven gear(clutch basket) for wear and replace if necessary. The weakening diaphram spring is the cause of most failures in the Yammy platforms(Venture, VMax, FJ, Maxims all used this style clutch.) The primary driven gear and the clutch basket are an integral unit so you just can't replace the basket. You will also need the special tool to hold the basket to break part number 22 loose and then re-torque it on assembly. Here is my homemade tool for the job. Clutch repair is a pretty easy job. On a 1 to 5 scale with 1 being easy and 5 the tough end I would rate clutch repair(in this case remove & replace) about a 2. The one thing that will bite you is if you forget about part #25 when disassembling. It sometimes pops out and ends up rolling around the floor. Don't lose it. Put it back in the reverse order of disassembly. Don't be imtimidated. I did my Venture clutch in under an hour and that included fab time on my "tool".
