hard clutch was created by stunter956
so i replace my old clutch cable with a brand new one thinking the old one might have been rusty causing it to be very hard to action and giving my hand a workout, turns out its the same with the new one, i took off the side cover and desassembled the actuator, cleaned and greased it, but still hard as hell, i also ajusted it lots of times and no good results, as a final attempt, i replaced my clutch springs with some way softer ones, got softer but not quite as i thought it would be, just yesterday i popped my cable, im running out of ideas here, can someone help me out.

check basket for wear at point clutch steel plates contact basket . File off any rough edges so plates dont catch and stick. is rod bent between pusher and actuator ?
Check everything, assume nothing.

the push rod is in good condition, not bent, havent really disassembled the clutch itself, that should be my next step i hope that makes a difference.
