I'm having the usual problem getting those clutch cover bolts loose- despite careful tightening one still refuses to budge. Given that I don't need see the clutch, would it be OK to just pour the trans fluid in through the primary chain cover hole? Both holes lead to the same void (the tranny case) so I assume this is a safe alternative to drilling out the frozen clutch cover bolt? Any advice welcome, thanks in advance, BuellGrrrl | ||

It has been mentioned, that loosening 3 bolts completely before loosening the 4th will put #4 under enough tension to make it stick. Try tightening up the other 3 bolts - I'm guessing just snug might do it - and then gradually loosening all 4 a bit at a time. I'd begin trying to loosen the now stuck bolt. Otherwise, drilling it should be straight forward, just take your time. Filling through the inspection cover would work as far as filling. Checking that you get the right level is a different story, as you can't get a good look at the clutch basket from there. Just pouring in a quart will likely overfill the primary. Hope this helps.

Tighten the three loose ones and then put a big adjustable wrench on the handle of your T27 Torx screwdriver to loosen the tight one. Then snug it and loosen all four a little at a time, you will see the derby cover pivot around that pitching is why on tends to jam if you get three loose. | ||

Like these guys already said, tighten them all up again. Then before you try to loosen again, tap on the end of your Torx screwdriver with a rubber mallet or hammer lightly a few times before you try to loosen up the screws again. That usually helps a lot to break them free without stripping them. | ||

And get rid of those Torx fasteners. You can pick up Allen heads at the dealer. |
