well,the wonderful new clutch pushrod,and the oil made a difference,
but it must have been the assembly of said parts that made it really smooth,
and greasing the worm drive lifter !!!
K2-K6:
As above. Those clutch components, how they are assembled, and final setup make a big difference to clutch operation and lifing.
I find generally that concern over a clutch operation usually concerns things like drag, finding neutral and smooth operation, it's rare however that final part of how the release cycle is performed is examined, which is the area that can most easily bring about clutch slip. It's often that the system is adjusted to try and affect the first listed effects and leave the mech holding the clutch very slightly from fully closing. The condition of the parts and leaving free play when released will prevent any unintended clutch wear. Too many owners miss this crucial point.
