[QUOTE="Scoob, post: 155547, member: 24479"] [b]shortening clutch pushrod[/b] Ever since I got my used 1991 cr125 the clutch has always had drag (way to much). It wasnt until I ordered new clutch fibers that I found out the previous owner had 8 plates in there instead of the required 7! So I changed the clutch fibers, putting in the proper number of plates, but then when I put it all back together my pressure plate would bottom out on the lifter before the contacting the fibers. I thought maybe that my cable just needed to be slackened, so I loosened it right down, but the pressure plate would still hit the lifter before the fibers. My first thought was to remove the steel ball inside the lifter to remove the clearance, but now I'm thinking it might be better to modify the pushrod. I am thinking of grinding about 1/8" - 3/16" off my pushrod. I dont see how a shorter pushrod could damage anything else. Please enlighten me. I am looking for a cheap fix, I already wasted money on a new pressure plate and I dont want to try buying a new inner hub just to see if that is the problem. So my question is this: [B]would it be a good idea [/B]to shorten my pushrod? I think it would be, but then again I thought it would be better safe than sorry and ask the smart people of DRN before going ahead and doing it just in case I'm missing something. :eek: My clutch is driving me crazy!
