Having problems with the clutch on my TV175 S3 as follows:-

When engine is cold no issues.

When its hot there is a reluctance to get OUT of 2nd or 1st. (when approaching traffic lights etc)

There is also a noise issue from the K/S shaft area when kicking over when hot. (nothing when cold)

Obviously something is expanding and rubbing when hot- I'm going to whip the crankcase side off this week and have a look.

Any ideas at this stage? Any pointers?

Thanks Gents

Needle race maybe? That would allow it to rock and maybe cause separation issues
