Clutch can be a pia to get dialed in sometimes. They dont always like 1/4 turn. Some a little more some a little less. Keep trying n u'll find the sweet spot.
Have you ever taken it out to look at it & the basket and hub? I don’t know what kinda pulling you got going but if you can’t get it out in the pushrod adjustment… you might want to take a look inside.
Be great on those year models if you could just pull the derby cover and see what’s happening inside…unfortunately that’s not the case.
Give either of these methods a try. Very key in this adjustment is to have a lubricated push rod so its easier to feel when it is lightly seated. Lightly seated is a very subjective feel . Consider what your looking for, you want as much throw as you can get while still making sure the clutch plates are completely engaging when you release the handle.
