Clutch adjuster

[adamthisis]

So just put a new clutch cable on my K9 that I got back from Barnett, the adjuster turned really smooth and had no problems with it. So today I need to adjust the clutch again and the adjuster would not turn easly, and I put some wd-40 on it and it would turn but was really hard.:down: Just wanted to know if there is a problem or is it just because it is a new cable?

I'd check the clutch adjustment rod....... did it come lose ..I'd restart & adjust the clutch then set the cable slack..

The rod I had all ready taken out of the trans, I was trying to loosen the cable up. Going to get some clutch lube and try to work it loose with that. Hopefully that will work

Are you talking about the clutch rod adjuster on the cable adjuster on the down tube?

I hate to ask but you did loosen the lock nut on the cable?
Okay now kick my arss.

Yea V, I have seen the jam nut tightened against the wrong side of the adjuster and of course it came loose.

Ya, the cable adjuster, it just does want to turn to loosen up the cable

Yes I did loosen up the nut, nut turn fine but the adjuster is really tight, almost like it has cross-thereded itself. But I did get it loose. Just real tight. Going to get some clutch cable lube before I put back together and see if that makes a difference.
