Hmmm, I may very well open up the side of the engine and look at the clutch plates. However, I would like to have a little more confirmation before breaking things open. Are there other symptoms of a dragging clutch (besdies difficulty shifting into neutral)? Also, I seem to recall there being two different types of plates in the clutch assembly. One type is actually referred to as clutch plates. The other is kind of a spacer (I think). My friend told me that it is the spacer that gets worn, not the actually clutch plates. What are your thoughts on that? I would just open it up and look at what's worn, but I gettting close to the departure date and time is somewhat of an issue.
Thanks for the advice.
