[QUOTE="Oldhaven, post: 65284, member: 2879"] Davidd sent me some advice about this and reminded me of Greg Brillus' good counsel about filing the plate tabs that may stick in the slots and about shimming under the spring caps to reduce pressure. I just went out with a dial indicator and I get .054 lift at the button in the clutch outer plate, but the plates do stick in the slots a bit so they will come out and I will follow Greg's advice about filing the tabs just a scoche. I found that half of the outer plate lift occurs in the final 1/3 of the hand lever travel, so I am getting some compression, maybe in the outer cable housing, but it could also be flex in the G91/1. I can only get about 5/8 inch travel of the G91 lever where it fits the cable, however I adjust it, but there is 3/4+ available movement space, so if I can somehow get that extra 1/8" that should add up to over .062 of rod travel. I think I will file the tabs, maybe shim 3 or 6 of the spring caps, get a new g91/1, and get a new cable that is longitudinally wound. (one at a time in that order). I did work out that shortening the abutment will not help. Ron [/QUOTE]
