Default clutch will not disengage

I have a 67 xlch. i have had a problem with the clutch for about 4 weeks now. My problem is that I can adjust the clutch to release when the bike is cold. but once I get riding for about 5 miles. the clutch stays&nbsp\\; engaged. I have replaced all of the plates&nbsp\\;and springs inside of the clutch and triple checked all of the inside there. (made sure the pressure plate is releasing evenly.) I just ordered a new pressure plate. has anyone heard of the clutch hub expanding and causing this problem? any help would be great. thanks in advance.

Did you soak the clutch plates in lubricant prior to assembly?
