bought our 860 in April, and have had issues with the clutch since we got it. short version is- neither my dad or I can slip the clutch to start out in any gear except 1st. its basically off/on in all gears except first. Can easily slip it in first to start slow. reverse is not as bad as 2nd+
the linkage is properly adjusted according to the manual.
my two thoughts here:
1- needs a new clutch
2- seat is in a bad position, which causes our leg to be in an awkward spot, which is why we can't slip it.
right now I'm leaning toward #2. no other signs of an aging clutch.
I think I remember someone posted that they spaced their seat back with square tubing? Anyone have the pic saved they can post? I couldn't find it with a search
I'm thinking that might help us, since right now our leg is so bent when at the top of the clutch pedal throw, that's why we cant slip it. I assume why we don't notice it in first or reverse is the gearing is so slow we don't get that "jump" like we do in other gears.
