Ok, so I was putting everything back together after rebuilding my water pump, etc..
I got the clutch cover tightened, and the kicker would NOT engage at all. After a lil jiggling, i finally got it to grab. WTF!
Everything is installed properly (spring is in that case relief, stopper in the right spot), but the gear does not want to engage all the time. On my last trip, I noticed that it did not engage on one occasion. I thought nothing of it cuz it didn't happen again the rest of the day.
Im thinking my return spring has lost tension, and I need to replace it. I have never heard of this, so I am here asking who has seen it.
Any info appreciated here, thanks!
Why cant anything be easy? lol
