SuperTed: I had very good shifting for a long time, but I needed to adjust my clutch periodically.

But let me add, I had a very stiff clutch. When it begins to go, it's hard. If yours is still light, then maybe not to worry.

Anyway, it would give way like yours. Go down a bit just out of the blue or gradually, and I'd tighten the cable up. Meanwhile the roll pin was sheering as the clutch was getting nasty hard. In fact, the new rollpin was starting to sheer when this thing gave way and broke. It wouldn't have lasted much longer.

Then that was the end of it. You may want to just drive it and keep an eye on it, but have a wrench take a look; cause when it goes, it goes, and you ain't gettin' home without a tow!
