    Did I miss something? Clutch help

    Hello out there,

    I attempted to replace the clutch plates and springs today for the first time. (In my lifetime) Everything seemed to go well. Pretty simple right?

    Put it all back together and now the clutch cable is VERY loose. Pull on it and the cable barely returns. I can spin the release pinion by hand the quarter turn. Almost no resistance.

    What did I miss? Thanks in advance.

    You put it together wrong.
    You either didn't mesh the pull out gears or the lever is at the wrong position.

      Thanks. I will take it apart today. I adjusted the clutch cable at the lever and it better but now it takes a lot of effort to shift.

        You didn't say which model you have, but the arm should be at about a ninety degree angle to the cable as it starts to make contact with the clutch.
