I have had to adjust my clutch 3 times in 3 months




I know its needs adjusting when its hard to get into gears, and sometimes I cant even get it in reverse

I shouldn't be doing it so often


Do I need a brand new clutch?

Thanks

The twisty nob thing cant move any due to it being sat in a groove.

If it keeps needing adjusting, you need to stop riding the clutch.

mine does the same ... it is the plastic "nut" shown in the pic being worn and slipping down the thread. put another nut on the end and wind that up to meet the plastic one to stop it.

(like generation said)
