[QUOTE="Hondaman900, post: 6633, member: 568"] So I took a look at the clutch adjustments on my old M-600 over the weekend, and need some advice. Finally got to use the special wrench that took months to come in. I tightened the castle nuts a tad, just to the next slot for the pin, and it took most of the travel/slack out of the control levers. If anything it may be a little too sensitive now, but that may be because the levers tend to snatch a bit, especially in reverse. I was hoping to be able to adjust out the “snatching” nature, especially in the right-hand reverse control but adjusting the clutch didn't seem to remedy this. If I pull it back it will snatch and I have to push it forward to disengage, and it sort of pops out and back to neutral. Also, should I see the shaft move when I pull on the levers? On the left-hand forward, I can see the shaft move in slightly as the clutch engages, but the other shafts don't appear to move (though they must as the clutches do engage. And, do the castle nuts need to be tight, as some are still finger-loose, even after adjusting. The pin obviously prevents turning. Thanks - all help much appreciated. [/QUOTE]
