Red: Slipping Clutch, Part V

Unclear what caused the clutch to freeze up on the last ride, but to safe, decided to swap in the new but thinner disks (in case the two extra-thick ones were somehow the root cause).

After swapping everything over, had that same issue where the arm was very far out and was locked stiff, but with a slight push it "popped" right into place.  It was now much closer to where the cable was held.

But why???

In rebuilding had also realized that the arms of the cotter pin were sticking out at right angles and so had bent them inward.  Could that have been contributing to the issue the whole time??
