If your primary chain adjustment remained the same; bought a good clutch cable, and already checked your throw out bearing and ramp mechanism, then your problem is probably your clutch. Positive you adjusted it correctly? If yes, then you have to check for a warp disk(s), or the spring plate in your clutch pack is failing. They are known for coming apart. Let us know what you find out.

Hopefully clutch is fixed !
If your 96 RK is stock, then you will have to use a spring compressor (bought or home made) to pull your clutch plates.

So I bought a new Barnett extra plate Kevlar clutch , pressure plate and diaphragm spring ... Went to install it today and when pulling apart the old clutch discs there were tons of brass rivet pieces everywhere .. I'm hoping this was the reason my clutch was occasionally slipping and hard to find neutral ... Also my primary chain was too loose .. So I tightened it up ... Haven't had time to test ride it yet after installing new clutch .. Keeping my fingers crossed .... If anyone in Seattle wants to borrow a clutch diaphragm spring compressor I have one now ..
Your clutch should work much better now.
