Husqvarna 360 Auto (1977)

G’Day Husky Legends

I would be grateful for your advice and a 360 Auto Service Manual if anyone has one.

I recently bought a 360 Auto (1977) and have put it on Historic Registration in Australia. Having done a fair bit of 4WDing in my time, the complete absence of engine braking on the 360 Auto is terrifying. My brain just hasn’t made the cataclysmic leap.

Anyway, back to the reason for my post:

(1) my 360 Auto is holding onto the gears for way to long in the higher rev range. I have been “changing” gears by blipping the throttle down for a millisecond and that seems to get me there. Is that normal? Or is the bike meant to change gears as smooth as butter?;

(2) does anyone have any service manuals or other fun reading material for a 77 360 Auto?

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Cheers

Jono

Absolutely legend!!! Thanks mate!!!

Sounds like a PO has changed some of the springs , you could get different rate springs for the 3 secondary clutches that changed the revs the box changes gear, useful for MX. I don't feel mine change gear, not smooth as butter but pretty close.
