I think i have a clutch again! I do not have #3 yet, if is one of the items the big brown truck is supposed to deliver tomorrow - but I stacked washers on the rod to mimic the thickness of the nut (pivot point) and my clutch disengages
I am aways amazed at the amount of stuff I don't know! Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. Will update once I get the proper part installed. I love this board!
