Old wrench, thank you! its not a transmission problem its a clutch problem. its not fully disengaging. im going to change out the bushing when the part ships. ive already bleed the line and there is no air bubbles and i checked the torque specs on the clutch plate. are there any other adjustments i can do to fully disengage the clutch?
