Hey guys, I had my clutch/basket out to change my shifter shaft because it was bent on the outside. Previous to removal the clutch disengaged/ engaged fine.
When I put it all back together, I never separated the plates/pressure plates untill I had to reinstall them, and I reinstalled them exactly how they came out. When I took them out I just put them in a container still sandwiched together. And I figured as long as a I put them back in how they came out, they would be fine?
Now it jitters/shudders while trying to engage at slow speed. Functions fine at speed. Thru other gears. Just feels like it's barely engaging now. It was never the strongest but it never slipped. But now, if I put the tiniest bit of pressure on the clutch lever it disengages.
And yes, I adjusted my worm gear and my cable correctly. So its something internal to do with the clutch engagement itself I think.
My buddy ended up putting most of it back into the bike, other than the discs and the springs. I did those. I'm wondering if maybe he installed the thrust bearing in the wrong spot or something? I think I might just order new discs and pressure plates and a new thrust bearing and see if those help. Because idk if these are just too worn.
Any help would be appreciated! Thanks
