    If you sent it to me i could handle it for you.
    Thanks, thinking its something else though. Either the plates are sticking, or uneven spring tension. Fairly certain its not the master or slave cylinder.
    Castrol GPS subjectively seemed to make it worse, but I have no idea what was in the sump before whether it was full mineral or full synth.

    I bit the bullet and pulled the clutch out. All the springs are even and as new length wise. The basket and all the plates are mint with no ridging in any of the grooves, friction plates all mint and measure up as new. No signs of clutch abuse or heat stress, in fact its one of the cleanest looking motors I've ever seen. All I could think to do was take the mirror shine off the steel plates with some 120 grit emery. Refilled with the least synthetic oil I could find locally (motul 3100) All this has made the most minor of changes, the clutch still sticks a little but not as bad as before.

    Any more advice????
