Clutch Adjustment?
Do all arms set evenly? My style is the borg-beck, which uses rollers to pivot on. Does yours? if not, I`m not familar with hayes design. When you pulled tranny, did it act like it was hanging up a little, as in, TO bearing stuck inbetween arms? Do you incorperate a fork return spring/ might help. sorry if none of this helps. but something was definetly wrong, with it slipping and growling. No marks or nothing eh?
