Hi Grumpy I assume when you say "crushing washers" you mean compressing a type of spring that applies pressure but will allow to compress in to adjust against it?
Hopefully one of the guys you mentioned will help us on this but if not It seems quite simple to remove the clutch assembly and take a look in there and thanks the progress from you and this forum I've made, I feel I can put new corks on the clutch when needed.
