Re: 535 Clutch problems

[Dykaar@xxxxxxxxx]

Tom,

Check the pedal support assembly. Mine cracked, allowing the clutch pedal
to still move, but with enough play so the clutch didn't fully engage.

The whole pedal assembly unbolts, and I got mine welded and painted for $25
CDN (about $3.98 US).

Good Luck,
