I tried searching for this issue but I could not find a definite answer.
I recently picked up a couple banshees, one of which has a 392 kit with a HD clutch upgrade. As it sat, the clutch did not work at all. The seller did not specify who he bought the clutch kit from and when I pulled the cover off to inspect it, the adjustment rod and nut were completely backed out and loose. I followed the factory specs aligning the lever with the arrow on the case and the clutch now works, but I cannot torque down the pressure plate bolts. If I torque down the bolts to 7 ft/lbs (which is what I believe the recommended spec is), the clutch completely locks up to the point where I cannot pull the clutch lever. If I back out the bolts about 3.5 turns, the clutch works like normal. The entire assembly doesn't seem to be missing any parts. What could be the issue?
