Ian, this may be of interest to you since we were sharing notes.
A while back I posted a problem I was having. The short version is that
the transmission occasionally makes a bunch of noise and it sounds like
the gears are slamming together.
I have come to the conclusion that it is entirely clutch related. I
adjusted the clutch lever at the transmission and it's better, but it
still grabs a bit (occasionally). I have to take every bit of slack out
of the cable to get it to operate properly. Sigh.
A search on this list for "grabby" reveals that this is a fairly common
problem, so for now, I'll live with it. Although its not really very
grabby- just enough to make a nasty racket.
I'm really hoping that I don't develop the same problem as Tom Short
(search for "grabby clutch explored", 6/25/03). Dude!
cheers,
Jason
