Todd,
That was me - I've verified that I'm getting no movement
of throw out rod (if that's what its called) at all, and
I'll be yanking the tranny out this weekend to figure out
what happened. I'll let you know what I find.

After a 500 mile weekend ride last fall I noticed difficulty disengaging the clutch far enough to get the 4 speed tranny in gear. I figured I had some stretch in the cable and shortened(adjusted) it enough to get the clutch disengaged so I could easily put it in gear. Within a day or so I started to hear a "whirling" sound every time I pulled the clutch in. Today I started the ambo and slowly pulled the clutch in to see where and when this sound would occur. About 2/3rds into the clutch disengaging this sound of bearings(?) making contact with something starts. I can put the bike in gear, and it runs fine, but am I doing damage to the throw out bearing? Is the clutch adjustment so fine that I have to find the degree of adjustment that allows disengagement just before bearing damage? What am I doing wrong?
