so I'm getting painfully near the end of my first full build, just finished the wiring and moving on to the foot clutch. I ordered the modded worm gear from jumpstreet customs, and that part of the install seems to have gone pretty smooth, the worm gear rotates fine.
when I went to put the cover with the new worm back on, there's maybe about a centimeter gap between the lower case and the cover.. the worm gear and the pushrod seem to be lining up, but won't budge.. figured I'd put all the bolts back in to see if that'd hold it together, but once I got them all tightened, it felt as if there was too much friction between the worm gear and the pushrod, the clutch wouldn't move at all.
so, it seems to me like the problem is that some component of the pushrod has been misaligned, keeping it from being pushed back to engage the clutch. when I pull the nearest piece out that famous ball bearing follows it right up to the lip of the seal, so I know that's still in there, but I'm not sure exactly what's behind that, haven't been into that side of the clutch yet.
anybody had this before, stuck pushrod? Maybe just replace whatever's in there with that one piecer from mixesxs?
