Clutch failure when pulling off motorway

[fazersharp]

I don't think the casing is meant to be a bearing surface... if I were you, I'd check your clutch (unless some wiser bod tells me that's normal).

I am a wiser bod and that is normal

In that screwed to the inside of the casing is a thing on a cam that the cable pulls and the thing rises up a short arcemeedies screw type thing - this "rising up the cam then presses on the clutch rod - only by 8mm at max, so if the bolts are loose you dont get the 8 mm travel. as the cam thing is not pressing on the clutch rod. The movement needed to act the clutch is so small that when you refit the sprocket cover (you can do so without fitting a gasket) but may have to adjust the clutch to compensate,

Now then also unless it was you that has been doing stuff there then it could well be that the sprocket has been changed in which case then make sure it now the  with the new nut (im sure that you know about this )

Here is the push rod  -- gos all the way to the other side
