[QUOTE="odot, post: 1424508, member: 916"] I thought about performing this procedure a year or so ago because my clutch was sticking and becoming a problem at stop lights. One day coming into work I was shifting to a lower gear when I heard a strange pop from my clutch lever. It was still activating the clutch but even more poorly then previous. Once I got to work I took a look at the lever and noticed the holder of the pin ball (with a hole in it) had broken in half. The lever was barely pushing the clutch pin and only at full lever compression. So, I ordered a new lever for 20 bucks online. I noticed the new lever only had one hole for the clutch actuating pin. My old broken lever had a hole for the pin but also another hole on the other side of where the pin goes in. So, for two or so years my clutch actuating pin has been just sliding through my lever and not actuating the clutch until about full compression. Taking her for a spin the clutch now works as soon as I start pulling on it. Not at full compression with a death grip. So, if you are having clutch sticking issues, take a quick peek at your lever and make sure that there is no exit hole for the actuating pin. [/QUOTE]
