6 spd input shaft

Post by CDNBOY »

Anyone had a clutch failure with an input shaft stripped?
When you look at whats left on the shaft.....how much spline length is not in contact with clutch hub.

A deeper hub should fix this, and I think I can build one......any thoughts :?:

Search the 1150 section for "clutch splines".

Plus, lots of info about R1150 transmission input splines at ADVrider.org and BMWRT (Sport Touring).
