there's a long story assiciated with this question, I'll skip that.   can anyone tell me how long that straight pushrod is supposed to be?   i had my bike apart to figure out why the clutch dragged, and the ball bearing was missing. I had one here, put it where it belongs, and now the clutch slips.  I have the cable disconnected, and the cam/lever thing on the case is barely touching the pushrod. I'm wondering now if someone put a longer rod in there and left the ball out on purpose.
