    Clutch install on 1985

    Problem solved. Thought I may post the solution to my problem in case someone else experiences the same problem. So dropped the tranny again in which everything looked fine as expected. I decided to pull the clutch fork out to make sure it was not bent or have any issues and I notice the the...
