That was Friday Morning.
So today I thought the rear brakes were locking up. I needed new pads, but the rear wheel still doesn't turn more than one rotation in reverse.
So I've pulled the rear tire and the final drive unit. Still have the problem rotating the shaft in one direction.
So I opened the clutch cover and pulled all of the clutch plates. The center basket is linked to the transmission and it spins in neutral both directions, but in gear it is only free in one direction. When turned in the direction that tightens it is like screwing down a huge nut. I haven't tried to force it, but it gets too tight to turn by hand.
All that is left in the path is the universal joint and the transmission. Can anyone explain what is tightening? Am I as screwed as I think?:sad:
