Do I need to remove the clutch to do a shifter pawl adjustment? I have been pouring over the service manual and hitting the forums to figure it out myself, but I can't get a clear answer. So what's the scoop? Yay or nay? I'm trying to clear up the grinding shift in first and second.

Thanks in advance,
Eric

Yes the clutch, chain, and stator sprocket remove as units as soon a couple c clips and two bolts removed, one bolt - the clutch - if I remember right - check manual - is reverse threaded. You'll have to remove and re-install the lower chain guide as well - replace if worn, while there remove stator wire protection plate, chamfer edges to soft round, then re-install w/ blue locktite. Measure drum pins - 0.335 is the max length you want, leach a drop of red locktite to the base of the long drum pin and gently tap back in to proper spec., new detent plate, 2 new detent clips, if you can only fit one your fine, if you can fit 2 better - stock is 1 - I notice they are ti now - hmm - do shift pawl adjustment, re-assemble, doing clutch adjustment - lightly seated means lightly seated, hook up your Mullers easy pull - lol, fill 1 qt of favorite oil, adjust cable all the way up, then re-adjust primary to the loose side - 14 flats out from torque value, if you hear noise, go in till it stops - your golden. It should shift a lot better.
