Mine is cut off. Like to be able to move my foot back and forth. Rust bullet will keep anything from rusting and provides a super hard coating. Can paint it over surface rust. (Distributed by Summit racing) Later.

I guess I did post to the end - didn't go to the second page, Duh. I tried that link but it takes you to the front of the Ventures tech library. The article is titled "Removing the Clutch Basket" Later

I meant Joe's experience. I tried to post on the end of my original thread. I will try again. Thanks guys. Paul

Hello All - I realize I have the distinct chirp, and it may be close to the "scream". Thanks so much for all the responses. I have a follow up question. What exactly is an "I" basket and how does it differ from the original equipment straight cut gears? How does it reduce the chirp? I found some great pictures of a clutch replacement procedure here, http://www.venturers.org/Tech_Library/index.php?action=article&cat_id=002006&id=309 I think I understand where the chirp is coming from. I have searched the internet for bad stuff about MotorKote and can not find anything but anecdotal "Do not use additives". I have never used additives since my high school auto shop teacher said not to, but this chirp is annoying and I am willing to take a leap of faith on Dave's experience with this stuff. Again, thanks all - I will let you know how the Motorkote works, good,bad, or indifferent. Paul

Just bought a 2005 Tour Deluxe. Notice the distinct whine/whistle at lower speeds and during acceleration. Seems to go away if I pull in the clutch or let off the throttle, not so noticable on the freeway. This appears to be a common phenomenon and I have seen it attributed to Clutch, transmission, and/or shaft. Looking for help here as to what exactly this is and what I need to do to have this fixed or reduced (if possible) and if I cant do it myself, how much it should cost and who can fix it. Thanks for ANY help. Paul
