clutch

[warmeck]

my clutch is engageing but wont disengage? i replaced the cable and it still does it do you think i melted the ball to the rod? i warmed it up for a minute and 13 secs do you think thats long enough?

i'd say you already found the culprit, the actuator arm is worn so bad it isn't pushing the rod and ball.
i'd replace that before jumping to the conclusion that the ball is welded.
unless you know for fact that you held the clutch in too long at high speeds ??
/\ thats what welds the ball to the rod.

and no....1 minute any amount of seconds is not a long enuf warm up.
uslually takes mine 3-4 minutes of light revving to get up to full operating temps.
the trans oil and clutch will take a little longer, as it really doesn't get up to operating temps until it is used.
