I bought the PMC kit and while it arrived quick and it looks great, it came with no instructions. I'm at the point, where I can not get the clutch adjusted at all and if I torque down the bolts there is zero movement in the clutch mechanism. Anybody installed one before and have any tips.

I think that I possibly need to shorten the clutch push rod, but don't want to do it unless others think I am correct in my thoughts.

I didn´t have to shorten my clutch push rod with the D&G kit. Did you try the KHI clutch release mechanism?

Interesting, I will have to take a look and see if I can fit the old mechanism.  If I remember right, when I replaced the stock mechanism with the PMC EZ Pull kit, it came with a push rod but I can't remember if it was shorter or longer than stock.

Boy that sprocket looks like there is no room for the chain around the clutch rod, but I'm sure it an optical illusion. Chris

I think the first picture is more what is really like, not the second one. But  do not have one of these so what do I know.

Here is another shot.  Going to try and find another clutch push rod near me today so I don't mess up mine, since I do not have another one or the old worm gear that was OEM.

I was able to get it sorted out today. I did not need to cut my push rod. All I did was loose. All adjustments, except had the push rod adjuster moved all the way in. Then I removed the mechanism and installed it 180 degrees. This gave me more leverage and allowed all to operate properly. Before it was popping if adjusted to tight. The second picture is how it looks working correctly
