My '86 245 has about 210,000 mi. Don't have any idea when the last clutch job was done. The clutch is real stiff and has some chatter when engaging. I replaced the cable thinking this might be the problem. The old cable looked great inside the sheath but the end where it connects to the pedal was ready to break. One side where the pin goes through had worn through and the other nearly so. This tells me the stiffness is down in the clutch. Am I thinking right?

The new cable did not make the stiffness any better. I adjusted the pedal play to specs but in a short while the play had increased to where it needed adjustment again. The clutch fork looks to me to be bending right at the "keyhole" where the cable is connected to the fork. At least I think the fork should be straight.

Has anyone had this happen and what was the cause? (binding center hub, worn output shaft splines, bad fork pivot?)
