Sticky Clutch

It is either bad cable routing or the cable itself is gummed up inside the rubber/plastic housing.

Also the bearing retainer the throwoutbearing rides on can get gauled up and cause a non-smooth "ride".

Good Luck!

OK, i was also told there was a setting that u can tighten or loosen to change the smootheness of your clutch. Is that true?

I am not aware of any setting like that. They make adjustment mechanisms (like a firewall adjuster or adjustable cable) that you can tighten or loosen to make the clutch grab in different locations. But nothing to make it smoother alone

David might have some info for ya - if not I would read Jeremy's article.

Good luck.

OK, cool.

Do you know where i can learn further about a new cable quadrant or learn how to check for a bad cable routing?

Yeah as JT pointed out...v8only (Jeremy) has a picture he will post for you where it shows the proper cable routing and he has tried a couple quadrants out. I believe he likes the UPR 3 hook quadrant (more adjustability). I am happy with my Steeda 2 hook quadrant...

Try PMing him...do a search for his name below

Good Luck!
