x18 clutch completely gave out

these screws came bascially all stripped lmao and i cant get it out with a drill. i need to use an impact wrench dont i?

yea i'm in the same boat. Im gonna rip into it thursday. See what the issue is. Theres gotta be a clear cut reason why it wont disengage.

yea dude, there has to be something going wrong. im gnna see if i can get an impact wrench and take the whole thing apart and check it out.

Yes you will need an impact driver to remove the screws..they are loctited in.If you dont own one..One can be rented from AutoZone.......Peace

i successfully stripped every single one of the 4 screws beyond repair while using the impact wrench. now what lmao

There is a good reason why they make different size screwdriver bits, using the wrong one is why screws get stripped out.
We should have warned you that the screws are loctited in there and that you need to use an impact driver with the correct bit but I just didn't want to insult your mechanical skills as I do not know what experience you have working on motors.
Anyway, you will want to buy new screws as you should not try reusing the stripped ones.
When you do get them out look at your clutch basket, another reason why clutches don't release is binding in the basket. There may be some grooves in the basket that would be a tell tale sign. Look at the plates and see if they got hot (the metals, not the fibers). Move the plates around, the first one closest to the motor gets the most abuse. Of course report with pictures and we will try to help you get to the bottom of this problem.
BTW, just buy an impact driver, they are $10 at Harbor Freight (not an impact wrench, an impact driver with screwdriver bits, the kind you hit with a hammer and it is spring loaded)

i used my friends impact driver but the screws are all so stripped it really didint do anything.

drill and tap or extractor

Use a large enough drill bit to get the heads off the screws and then remove the basket, once removed you should be able to get vice grips on the threaded part of the screw and get them out. Sometimes a little heat will get the loctite off. Once other thing you can try if it is not too late is nothching a straight slot in the screw for a standard (not phillips) screw driver bit and try it with the impact driver again.

One other thing I forgot, you need a Honda Clutch tool Honda Trail Bikes
