I cleaned it up best I could without taking apart the clutch. I suppose I should do that!
..it's always good to keep your cvt bits nice and clean...
..they will perform better clean, in my experience...
..if you can't get the clutch dis-assembled, you can still clean it up fairly well...
..get a can or two of aerosol electrical contact cleaner...
..remove the clutch, spray all into the bell and pad area...
..if you have compressed air available, that would be a plus...
..but kinda try to keep the cleaner away from the bearings..the center of the assembly...
..don't want to wash out your grease...
..concentrate on the "bell" area...
..hell, even compressed air alone will remove quite a bit of crap..
