OHH I HAVE A QUESTION.

My clutch pushrod, or whatever you wanna call it. The rod that goes through the engine from the slave cyl. to the pressure plate throw out bearing.

The rod is nice and oily with some thick black sludge.  Is that normal or do I need to replace the 2 O rings on the slave side?

Or are there other seals?

I've never seen any "sludge" on mine, but it should be lubed.  I'd replace the o-rings while you have the rod out just in case.  They're only a buck or two.

could the sludge be chain lube?

If it's really wet in there a leaky slave could be the culprit...or the two o-rings you mentioned.

There is a seal at the other end to keep the clutch dry on dry clutch models.

When the man who is doing this work says he is modding his bike , he means it. This is like re-inventing the wheel. Awesome stuff. I truly appreciate your skills, desire to be different and abilities. You and your father are truly inspiring, ,keep up the good work boys.
Best wishes for you both waytogo

Possibly my favorite thread on the board.  It's like an all-access pass to a mad scientist's secret underground lab...

Thanks for sharing all your progress with us.

thanks guys.

Its not like chain lube, its like brake fluid mixed with oil. 

I was going to do a milled plate for a gusset, but now I think im going to go in this direction.

The untrained engineering section of my brain thinks a plate would be stronger and more resistant to bending, but my eye likes the look of that a lot more.

It'll probably be fine for the loads that joint will see.

do it!
