New Clutch boot leak!
« on: March 30, 2026, 06:08:43 PM »
Hey guys, working on a barn find 85 k 100. Covered the basics including spline lube… new clutch boot, never saw one leak from new. Clutch arm seems square and lined up nicely. Clamp not over tightened. Leaking from top, where metal meets boot. TIA

Working on it now Laitch. Thanks! Ok sooooo….Throw out Chris Harris how to adjust cable video 😜😜 Seems the aftermarket cable had to be adjusted FIRST to get some tension on clutch arm. ( 3” from ferrule to top of barrel) ….THEN adjusted bolt, making sure there was no tension on clutch rod. Play at lever is 2mm…good to go! Thanks again Laitch!
