Swapped clutch cable today. Also noticed chain a spot slack, tightened that up to 45cm play. Still no different. Fine when cold, and fine after you pile on for a few miles with no gear changes. But heading through central London, stop start, filtering low speed, lots of clutch work, bam, pretty much impossible to clunk it up out of 1st.
However, I did pull out the long push rod for inspection, wasn't warped, but the end that pokes out by sprocket had some corrosion preventing it slide through the oil seal. Dunno if the problem but probably won't help. Ordered another nonetheless.
I've ordered some new steel plates too. Will dismantle clutch again next weekend and try those, and more thoroughly check out for wear on clutch basket/box - possibly file it down a spot if needed. Will report back.
