Hey Steve,
Are you saying that you've had your 80MNS since it was NEW, and the clutch has stuck from day one??? I thought you said that there was a PO, so I'm thinking you mean NEW TO YOU???
Okay, you've had the clutch basket apart 3 times, tried Barnett plates....yeah, they stick even more from what I've heard, so no wonder they made it worse! Just want to review, have you seen the extra steel plate mod tip, the photos? Did you have and put back in the 2nd thrust washer that sits between the clutch boss assembly and the clutch housing on the INSIDE?? That 2 mm thick washer is what the inner clutch boss is stopped by when you pull the lever, pushing the star plate and the innermost pressure plate towards the engine compressing the clutch springs and allowing you to release tension on the plates by separating the pressure plates from the clutch boss! And there's a second thrust washer beneath the basket on the clutch shaft between the basket and engine case!
Also, the PO probably broke/bent the shift fork for 1st gear, not the gears trying to shift into 1st without being able to release the tension!? Do you know IF the PO had been in the clutch before you got it??
I thought I remembered a member with this similar problem, and that they had forgotten to put that inner thrust washer back in between the boss and the basket??
I thought I had seen it in my Clymers, about how the plates can get notches worn into the tabs that slide in the basket, and so they could hang up not allowing the plates to move/slide to separate, causing binding??
Did you check the steels for warpage when you had it apart?? Did you sand/emory cloth the steels to remove any possible varnish on them before reassembly?? Just trying to think of any possibilities??
