March 9, 20242 yr I've got a ty175 1979 after my dad passed away I brought some new levers as old ones are a bit of a finger trap ,put new one on clutch and after putting new lever on clutch does not disengage, so I put original lever back on and still clutch will not disengage would any of you have any idea what I have managed to mess up
March 9, 20242 yr Hi, welcome Tezza It's a bit difficult to help without seeing the problem, it might help if you can post some photo's.
March 9, 20242 yr Possibly the cable if there is no return spring operation, the cable operates a very simple cam mechanism that is not prone to failure but works a lot better with routine cleaning and lubrication. Nothing works as good as a new cable so that is a good start if the one on there now is old.

March 10, 20242 yr Not many are dry clutch, when did you change the oil last? Clutch plates are rubberized cork which swells in the presence of gasoline or water, not so much in clean oil.
