RE: Centerforce Clutch problem

[ledman_70@xxxxxxxxxxx]

I can pull the pedal all the way out with my toe, but as soon as you 
touch it, it drops about 3". From there, it's about 3-4" before the 
clutch disengages. When I swapped the 4-spd in I had to weld an 
extention on the lower leg of the torque shaft to get it to line up with 
the fork, so I thought the shaft was wrong, but it looks identical to 
the correct ones I've seen.
