Jason,
Thanks for the input, I think I might just get another throwout bearing and change it. I'm thinking that might be the trouble.
I am familiar with the pics of your clutch job,...looking them over along with encouragement from the loop list is what motivated me to tackle the job in the first place! Thanks! One question though, is the cat still evil????

Bill,

Sorry, I can't help you out here- I've been thinking about this and I'm
at a loss. I have a RAM clutch also, so it's of interest to me. I
guess I'd pull the throwout bearing and have a look at it. There's only
half a dozen parts in the clutch from lever to friction plate, so it
(hopefully) will be easy to see what the issue is.
My only thought is that there may be something gumming up the plates, so
that when you push that diaphragm spring and activate the clutch, it
still sticks. ???
Pictures of the clutch job I did on my Eldo are here:

If you need to jog your memory about how it looks. Not much to see,
though.

 Cable is lubed, no kinks....sometimes, when I pull in the clutch to down
shift, it takes a while for it to actually engage. Not always, but I'd
say 25% of the time, this occurs. I've tried about four billion
different adjustments, to no avail. Weird, I have no idea. Anybody
else ever have this happen? Any suggestions would be greatly
appreciated.
Thanks,

Hi Guys!
I replaced my clutch with a RAM last winter, and now it's started acting
a bit strange. When sailing down the road and I pull in the clutch to
downshift, there is a hesitation before the clutch engages.....is this
what happens when a throwout bearing is worn out? It looked great when
I had it apart 9 months ago, do they go bad that fast? Is it something
else?.....HELP!!!
