Hello,
I tore down a '93 Electra Glide to the case and tranny. Bored the cylinders .10 over and installed Wisco pistons with Cometic gaskets. Also, as a side note, I put in an Andrews E27 cam. This potentially long story all started as an inner primary case leak at the motor and took on a life of its own.

As soon as I finished tear down, I noticed my clutch handle was completely limp, but thought I would worry about it at assembly. Except for breaking the clutch hub (fixed) all went well till it came time to button up the outer primary cover. I wanted to make sure I've got clutch before, BUT I do not.

I adjusted the cable 1 full inch; all of the way till adjuster separates and played with clutch assembly adjustment screw that goes through the clutch release plate. That, I turn in to stop and back out 1/2 turn. Did this several times and I have a very small amount of resistance at near full lever pull. It usually just clicks and pulls free but when it does not, I can observe no clutch plate compression. I drained the tranny and pulled side cover to see cable is attached to ramp but does not seem to turn freely or maybe a better word is smoothly.

Somebody suggested I stretched the cable; But 1+ inch? It needed no adjustment when I started this project.

I am NOT a mechanic, so feel free to treat me like a green bean. But stop before suggesting Clutch Viagra.

Any help please?

 

Bump.

 

Put all the slack you can in the cable. Screw IN the adjuster all the way. Then adjust it at the pressure plate then adjust the cable.

 

You "flipped" the ball bearing ramp under the clutch actuation cover on the right hand side. ( Never let anyone pull on the clutch lever while the pressure is off on the left hand side.)
Pull the cover on the right, hold the 3 ball ramp and take out all the slack on the cable from down there. The lever in the ramp should be pointing straight down, ( 6 O'Clock or so.) Re-assemble and then go to the left side for you clutch adjustment.

 

Yup, pretty much what it was.....er was not.
Pretty simple.
Thank you.

 

Very welcome!
