All was well on a ride today when his clutch lever pull started getting heavier until he just had no real purchase at all. Finally got to the point where the only thing he could do is force it into 2nd and limp home. Is this the typical way a clutch goes south?

A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort. Herm Albright (1876 - 1944)
