ZachE, for a couple bucks the 10mm bearings work! No need to change grips.

Thank you.. I've been trying to let people know what my issue with clutch disengagement was and how to increase pressure plate movement.. Glad you found something that works at relatively no cost....

I spent the day experimenting with different ramps, bearings, and diaphragm springs. I found out the heavier the spring, the less lift regardless of which configuration of ramps and bearings I had. Heavier springs are major players in trying to get enough lift. But the larger bearings work great are like an epiphany!

I'll bet that with the heavier spring and the decreased movement of the pressure plate, I would lean to the possibility of clutch cable stretch...

Maybe. But all I care about now is that it's running! LOL! The cable is only 2 yrs old and seems fine.
