Title: New clutch not working???
Post by: ratz on January 16, 2006, 08:56:29 PM
I put in new clutch plates, and springs. Now when I put it into first gear, and let the clutch out, it goes no where. I let the clutch out, and nothing happens. Do I need to adjust something ( the cable?)?
Help!?

Nevermind. I found it in the manual. It was not in the clutch section, it was in the adjustments section.
The pushrod adjustment. Just up and in front of the shifter, behind the small cover plate.  I loosened the locknut, and backed the adjuster out until loose, and then back in until it met resistence, and then tightened the locknut.
Sometimes I just need to walk away, and calm down, and reread the manual.
Thanks anyway.

Good job.  I do the same thing all the time.
