i believe that is not the mechanism, and am beginning to think that it could be related particularly to the gears, and not the clutch. no oil leaks. and changing gears was good, smooth in all gears since i bought it. later changed oil to specs, synthetic, and it even improved.. ..but suddenly 1 day was when trying to change, it got stiff. particularly the 2nd. rough feeling, had to put some effort-that did not happen before. and the other gears are also stiff, although not as much as the 2nd. warm or cold.
it has not got worse, but want to learn what is going on, and see what can i do.
