Repair of the clutch operation cable drive

In some cases, to troubleshoot the problem, you need to adjust a free motion of the clutch release sleeve. It is important not to forget to check it out by free movement of the clutch fork shaft lever. Quite often such parts as the friction linings or clutch plates need to be replaced. There are cases when at low temperatures the working fluid viscosity increases in a cable-operated clutch control.
