[QUOTE="HeyWaitUp, post: 169464, member: 1715"] Well, I took the crankcase cover off again today to check things out and I may have found the problem. The retainer that sits between the clutch outer housing and the adjuster plate looked a little beat up. There were little slivers of metal which looked like they came off of it. So, I'm guessing that things weren't lined up perfectly when I put the case back on last time or something. So, I ordered a new retainer and spring and we'll see if that fixes it. I do have a question though and was wondering if anyone knows what I'm talking about...the little arm that attaches to the end of the shift shaft that sits in the slot in the retainer...is there a way to tell exactly what angle it's supposed to be at? It seems like it only goes on in about 15° increments (and the closest ones, rotating it on the shaft to the left or right seem obviously off) so I think I've got it in the right spot. But, is there anything I should be looking for to know for sure? The Clymer manual just says "put it back on" basically... [/QUOTE]
