Default Clutch
If clutch is out of adjustment according to the amount of free play at the lever will clutch slip or not fully disengage?

I had it adjusted just fine and all of a sudden it had a 1/8-3/16 more slack. I've had clutch cables break before but not on Sunday a 100 miles from home. It disengages fine.
