I'm all for constructive criticism, I misspoke earlier, I have the manual in pdf form! I dont physically have it. According to or how I understood it, the pushrod didnt need to be adjusted, the YouTube videos I have watched said its not necessary. This is not my first Harley, it is however my first WG, it a 97. I will definitely follow your instructions and go from there. Much appreciated
Here's a couple of links that are helpful on seeing how things go together, also good to get part numbers and Google search images to see what you're dealing with, and / or for ordering parts online.

Yup you're right, there's no need to adjust as it stays the same before and after a new cable.

I'm not a fan of "Get a manual" posts, if someone asks for help and the only responses are "Get a manual" you are going to end up with a dead forum. Especially the new members, think they will come back or go elsewhere?

I want to buy you all steaks.
Got him and took the clutch cable out and the ramp, one of the ball bearings uprooted and moved to the other slots. I greased them out everything back together and she purring and running like a kitten!!!
thank you all again, I couldnt have done it without you!!

Next time you in the clutch cable side, you might want to install the Burly EZ Boy clutch device. $25 and a 40% reduction in lever effort, with the same "lock-up" as before. The friction zone will be wider too...
