2003 model from one use to the next became very hard to shift. Lever will move and go into gear forward and reverse but only with a great deal of effort. Tried to spray lube the point where clutch lever goes into housing with no change. What's next? |

If you mean the NSI cable I did that. I also dropped the lower unit and the shft rod and gear change operate fine. With the lower unit removed the clutch lever is still locked up. Unfortunately it appears as though the driveshaft housing has to be removed to access the clutch plate assy. It may be corroded between the O rings. Are there any other points of contact between the clutch rod and driveshaft housing? There is a good deal of carbon evident along the clutch rod and shift rod. Perhaps a frozen clutch notch pin pressing against the clutch plate? It would be great not to remove the drivesahft housing. Thank you for the feed back. |

As Murphy would have it, the toughest fix is required. The power head had to come of to remove the clutch aka shift plate. It was caked with dried up grease and the O rings were bone dry. It was impossible to move the shift lever fore and aft. Disassemble, clean, lube and reassemble. What a pain for something that could be avoided by having a grease fitting in the driveshaft housing. What was Suzuki thinking?....$$$$$$$$$$$ maybe? |
