Re: Can’t hit Neutral when running.
I just reassembled everything, I haven’t tried to see if it works yet because I need to go buy more oil. The clutch kit, slave and master are brand new OEM so I would think they’d be the right thickness. I also checked all the pushrods to make sure nothing was bent, adjusted the shift linkage again so hopefully I’ll bleed the system again, forward, reverse, sideways and every which way it takes to get air out, put some fresh oil in and hope for the best.

Re: Can’t hit Neutral when running.
Being OEM, you have the most assurance of them being the correct thickness. And you did soak them in oil for a goodly amount of time.1PaulSilva wrote: ↑Sat Apr 22, 2023 3:32 pmI just reassembled everything, I haven’t tried to see if it works yet because I need to go buy more oil.

So since you reported this symptom....1PaulSilva wrote: ↑Sat Apr 22, 2023 3:32 pm......I also checked all the pushrods to make sure nothing was bent, ....
Did the Push Rod do the same things after you re-installed it? ( after you extracted it and checked it to see if it was bent)1PaulSilva wrote: ↑Sat Apr 22, 2023 1:59 pm.......When I pull the Clutch Lever Part No: 23121-38B00 doesn’t move. I can push it in if I try hard enough then it slowly comes back out.
Don't forget to perform this procedure to remove all the Micro-Air Bubbles;1PaulSilva wrote: ↑Sat Apr 22, 2023 3:32 pm.....adjusted the shift linkage again so hopefully I’ll bleed the system again, forward, reverse, sideways and every which way it takes to get air out,

Re: Can’t hit Neutral when running.
I will report back as soon as I buy oil and bleed the system again my friend. Thank you for all your help
