i had my clutch acting grabby the last 1/4 on letting it out from a dead stop yesterday...not while moving and shifting.just from a stop..so i lubed the cable some and adjusted the pushrod a half turn back and tightened the nut a few minutes ago... and went for a short ride and it still engages jerky the last bit of lever out.. from a stop...i think i might have to lube the plastic actuater inside the sprockett cover..i soaked the sprockett cover and stripped the shitty paint off it the last guy put on and polished it up ... then i put it back together and did not put grease on the corkscrew nylon peice that the cable pulls on...think this is my prob.. i hope....grease and re-assemble...here goes...
