Hey CC, 81 XJ550 and the clutch seems to stick when returning. When letting the clutch lever out its slow then stops at a point, then I have to push it out to help it to go the rest of the way. This is a brand new clutch cable. Any clue on what is causing this? There are no kinks in the cable and service manual wasn't much help. Thanks!

The arm does not stick with no cable attached. I noticed the spring has been snapped at the ends that loop over the lever and below into the case so my thought is maybe its just not getting enough tension? The cable is run smooth with no kinks.Comment

If it doesn't stick with the cable off then try this. Pull your whole clutch lever assembly and mount in onto a scrap piece of 1" tubing but leave the cable in a straight line with no bends at all and pull the lever. Does it return easily like that?Comment
