Hey everyone, I recently put a steel braided clutch cable on my bike, as well as disconnecting my slave cylinder when attaching a carbon fiber guard. I also sandblasted and cerakoted my master cylinder. Somewhere in the process of all of this, I screwed something up and can't seem to figure it out.. my clutch will not fully disengage. The line is bleed and the clutch lever feels normal. But it feels like my pushrod is too short. Seems like there is only one way to connect the slave cylinder. I don't see any missing parts from the exploded view. Any ideas??
Even with bench bleeding the slave, a vacuum bleeder is a godsend for getting the last little bit after you attach the line and hook everything back up. Trying to do a manual pump-crack-close bleed does not work as well on a clutch as it does on brakes.
A syringe would be best, but all I did on mine was quickly work the clutch lever back and forth, air bubbles came up just fine.
Is it notchy feeling, or is it really light like it’s not compressing the clutch?
