Clutch release trouble

Hey friends, I have a 1982 GPz750 and my clutch release keeps popping out of place, not allowing the clutch to disengage. This is a GPz750, so the clutch release is different from the other KZ's.

I've rebuild the Sproket Cover several times following the manual verbatim, adjusting the clutch, everything I can think of, but it keeps popping out.

Anyone else had this happen?
1982 GPZ750, stock (for now..)
1973 VW Bus
Can life really get much better?

The diagrams at Partzilla show that the 82 & 83 GPZs are different from each other.
Is yours the same type as the 83? I'm asking because the diagrams indicate that the 82 is about the same as most KZs, having the clutch adjusting screw under a trapezoidal cover at the engine-sprocket cover.

Did you adjust it the correct direction? I tried following my manual for adjustment and I actually turned it the opposite way, caused it to pop out each time
