Shovelhead Clutch problem!!

[Pdriskill10]

Running a 1.5” BDL. Put the rear pulley on, put the clutch plates in, put the releasing disc on, springs, then pressure plate and tighten it down to what the manual says. When I go to pull the clutch in....brick wall. Nothing moves. Springs don’t compress, releasing disc doesn’t move or anything. Any one ever had this problem??!

Thanks in advance!

Throw out bearing is not working right in the kick cover....
Sounds like you have the old witch hat bearing.... ???

Not adjusted properly.... No clutch push rod?

Pics would help a lot...

Nope not a witches hat.... Can you post a pic of the kicker side clutch leaver??

Pushrod is in it...

As long as you got that peeled open, ya might want to do a up-grade to that bearing..

Clutch pushrod bearing kit includes 24mm bearing and bushing.

Bigger is better ....

Yeah from what I looked up I do. I didn’t know there were any other ones. I’ll get some photos posted in a few minutes. Any ideas on what to do to get it going?
