My loop project has about 1200 miles on it since I put it on the road. 98 EV motor tied to a 4 spd. All new cables, etc.
Been working perfectly. Last night, within a few stop lights, the clutch won't disengage and a ton of play in the clutch cable. I make it home with no clutch disengagement.
This morning, I measure the cable, identical to the brand new spare so the cable hasn't frayed or stretched. The clutch adjuster on the battery tray is exactly where it has been. The clutch lever adjuster in the exact same place. The adjuster on the transmission is firmly in place and the lock nut secure.
I then loosened the lock nut and adjusted the screw almost all the way in so there is full threads just flush with the lock nut. Basically adjusted it in about 6-8mm.
Now the clutch works perfectly, a few trips around my town and no new play or anything.
Did I not have the cup fully in place in the clutch assembly from when first putting it together and it finally popped into place? If the rod bent, I think it would be hanging up.
Any ideas?
