Clutch arm and bearing re install help

Postby Mikolobe » Fri Jan 19, 2018 9:41 pm

Hello,
i am catching holy hell with getting this funky lil clutch arm and bearing where its supposed to be so i can connect the cable and pedal. I actually took the motor and tranny back out to reinstall the disk and check for problems. Even referenced the manual the second time. got it all lined up, the arm was under the lil nipple thing that it kinda clips on. the bearing was picture perfect. put it all back in carefully. and when i was reinstalling the cable, that lil bastard slipped, now I'm back to where i was. needless to say called it a early night in the garage.

please tell me i don't have to remove the tranny again......
