require help with clutch, bin draggin lately and a real bugger to get neutral. though it might have been too thick oil, so tried 10/30 no joy. clutch basket, centre and outer all run true, the concave part of the circular spring faces the engine! the friction plates are true and have virtually no wear 120 thou. the steel plates true although 2 show signs of overheating or abuse. I have noticed the 5 fingered lift plate has 3 out of true 6 to8 thou. and two of the springs slightly shorter than the other 3. the operating arm is set between 80 and 90 degrees with 2/3 mm at clutch lever end. the friction plates are in there correct location. Have i missed something really simple. Help please. Mike W

Difficulty finding neutral is often the clutch thrust washer. It wears on one side so if you flip it over that can sort it.
