I have been trying to figure out why I do not have the correct amount of clutch disengagement when I pull the lever? I lubed the new cable that I bought, and checked the cable to be sure it was not bound up. (good) Then I checked the adjustment of the wormgear. The adjustment nut was locked up tight, nothing I did worked to break it free. (not good) So, I bought a working replacement from forum member _XSesive_. (Works great, and I recommend doing business with him!) Then I disassembled the clutch rod set up, no bent rods and all ball bearings in place. (good) Then I tore appart the clutch basket, I have a 79' with a seven plate set up. All of the friction plates are 3mm thick. (There has been some debate on what the thickness limit is with these plates, some say 3mm is ok, others not so much? ) So after much reading on this forum, and checking to see what I have, compared to what others have, I found this ...
Based on what I have seen in other posts, it seems that I am missing a 2mm thick washer in the location where the red arrow is?!?! (not good)
Please let me know if my guess is correct, and where I might be able to get the replacement washer?
Also, more importantly, if I install this new washer will it fix my clutch issue ?!?!
As always, thanks in advance for the advice ...
