Red Clutch Slipping Part II

Next attempt at the clutch fix after spending time on the carpet working out how the different plate thicknesses affect the clutch arm slack.

Popped out the clutch and swapped one of the disks for the extra-thick version.  The total width of all four plates together was 10mm.  However, after reinstalling the basket, saw that it was very far away from the primary gear (5mm), which is a good initial test.  

With everything reassembled, that proved to be accurate.  It was better than before in that now there was at least a little slack in the clutch arm before it engaged, but it was nowhere near enough to install the cable.

Realized two things:

1. There seems a strong possibility that I had set up the cable before in such away that it was always partially engaging the clutch.  This would have explained the lack of power and that feeling like the something wasn't getting transferred from engine to wheels.  It would also explain why the clutch plates wore down so fast and thus started to slip.
2. While it seems worthwhile to setup the clutch thickness to get it in the ballpark, it also makes sense to just get another clutch cable but the kind that has the adjustable nuts at the end (like Roxy currently has) which allows for much more flexibility in setting up the distances (especially when using aftermarket disks).  Put the order in already...
