I got a call from a guy that needed his 1998 sRX 700 clutched. Said it was running 9200 rpm & couldn,t beat his buds 600 sx-r that I set up. No probs; I go pull the primary & this is what I found!!!!!! never ever seen one this bad that was still together.

Wow that pic made my left leg twitch and pull back out of the way. There would have been some big chunks coming off that one. Killer chunks I would believe.

i got a clutch in my garage right now with exact same size crack in the same spot. i think it only held together because the crack goes between where the weight bolts on.

Tell the guy to buy himself and you a lottery ticket; he must have horse shoes up his butt right now.

My heart skipped a beat after I read 9200 RPM and then saw the picture.

I've seen 2 different AC clutches, a 3 post and a 4 post type, grenade on the same trip. One was near WOT the other was not. Amazing what happens when you loose parts while the motor is spinning.

So did you replace the sheave Turk? LOL!

Al; a little JB weld on that crack & he,s good to go! Gave up my last spare clutch I had to get him going. Hopefully I can snag about 5 of em at haydays. The older SRX,s are going thru primaries like crazy right now!
