street twin (clunking and engagement issues)
Cars been down all sumer with a broken rearend, just got it back on the road and trying to get a feel for it again.
This is the second time I have noticed this. I passed a car while I was in 4th gear, probably going close to 90mph when I got back onto my side of the road. RPM's are fairly high in the range, go to push the clutch, and I can feel it in the pedal and hear, it sounds and feels like something is clunking around in the clutch area and I cant get it into gear. Then I let off the clutch push it back in and then can get it into gear. The one other time I have noticed this I was again going probably 100mph. Scares the **** out of my, makes me worried its going to come apart or something.
99% of the time I put in this car is just cruising around town and the clutch feels fine, it grabs hard and for the most part is pretty smooth. Sometimes 1st gear is a little jerky.
In comparison, I made a 1->2 ship today 5k+ plus and smooth as butter.
