    High RPM Lockout Problems with MT82

    Have you ever done clutch job before? Im considering making a thread about doing the clutch at home on jack stands to try and get some pointers because I would love to not have to pay a mechanic to do it and to get the experience of doing it myself but I dont know how hard it is to do on jacks...

    High RPM Lockout Problems with MT82

    I hope that the that fixes your problem. Are you going to attempt changing that clutch yourself on jack stands? I am thinking that I might attempt to do mine at home.
