|Nelson, have you had any problems in recent

| Anyone have any opinions or experience with solving this problem

Hi Ryan,
No change on both Murry and my ex sticky clutches, but only a few more
miles.
I concur with Dick Taylor's analysis.
My guess is two problems:
1. The squeal is probably the release bearing.
2. The difficulty shifting into 1st is probably a failure to disengage
which is nearly always associated with the mechanical and hydraulic system
external to the gearbox. I'd do the slave cylinder motion check that DT
suggested. If it's less than 1/2 inch, I'd look for excess play in the
pedal area. Some other suggestions are at the end of the article describing
how to overhaul the clutch hydraulics, also on the Buckeye Triumphs website.
We have our own domain name now (see below), however, the old URL still
works.
