Default clutch adjustment problems

Has anyone had the tranny recall done and had problems with the clutch not staying adjusted. I had the recall done about 6 to 8 weeks ago and had to adjust the clutch cable more that 4 times. I have had it check at the dealer and they just adjusted the cable. I have the service tech puzzled. He thinks that the part or parts installed could have caused the problem.

The parts that are changed out for the neutral safety issue
have nothing to do with the clutch.

After all this time with your 06 machine,
odd that the clutch needs adjusting so often
after the dealership "serviced" the machine.

I would venture to guess that you didn't adjust more
than2-3 timesin the previous year and a half.

Is the cable goin bad and stretchin??
Somethin wrong with reassemblyduring the warranty work??
