Donsld Ferguson Jr started the topic Input shaft too short, clutch wobbles to death in the forum T-20 Transmission 1 month, 3 weeks ago

Hello. My first entry here. I have major issues with the secondary cluch bolt rattling loose and causing the clutch to wobble, which enlargens the center hole. This enlargened hole ruins the clutch, as it don’t fit the input shaft snug any more.

  Thank you. There must be something else going on that I can’t figure out.

It’s 72″ or 73″ if I remember. It’s been a while since I measured it. We do plan on offering new MAX Springers once the MAX production line is open.

  I’m interested in a springer. I posted some pictures of what I’ve done using parts from an Arctic Cat 4 wheeler. But the wheel width is about 81 inches, Which I think is too wide.
