Problem solved! At the risk of looking bad,and as a learning experience for anyone else looking, I think I had it right all along. I was trying to push the lifter plate in by thumb (not the actual clutch lever at the bar) when I was trying to diagnose it. A light went off when you asked if the...
I do have the thin washer correct. The basket meshes evenly with the primary gear. Everything is exactly as per the manual. With everything installed and tight, and I press on the pressure plate center piece, it won't move. You have been a tremendous help and I really do appreciate you taking...
