Clutch Adjustment

Clutch Adjustment
Have 1987 FXSTC. It has the soft pull lever attached to the inner ball ramp. Spacer is in place on cable.
I had to get and install a new inner ramp, pushrod bearing, and push rods.
Clutch tension adjusting plate is on "A" which is mid compression.
All installed to Harley factory manual.
I collapsed the cable adjusters. I opened the clutch inspection cover and ran the adjustment nut in, till rod contact. Backed it off half turn, and locked it with nut.
I expanded the cable adjustments untill I had microscopic freeplay at clutch lever. Clutch worked so, so. Still have lunge when dropping into gear. Cannot hit nuetral with running engine. Feels like clutch engagement/ disengagement is late in the clutch pull.
Been chasing this issue for a little while. Any advice?
