Run Ivy Run: New Clutch & Shakedown #5

As expected, there was significant wear damage to the inside of the clutch cover.  The band of metal that holds the arm in place was very worn down.  Any further and it would have hit the arm itself.  Lesson Learned!

Went on to install the new (correct) pin-type clutch.  There was zero tension on the cable, which made it a breeze to install, but had a worrying moment when I thought there was too much slack to even engage the clutch at all.

Then realized that I could also use the extender in the middle of the cable (which had been hidden behind the tank).  With that adjusted, the take up and engagement was perfect.

Added 500mL at first.


Shakedown Rd #5

Good, clean laps.  Got her up to 3rd.  Shifting was smooth and deliberate. 

Came back to the box, found the oil level wasn't even registering, so added another 100mL.
