I thought it did seem a little odd, too, yes.
Wow, you know, I don't know what the heck a throwout rod adjustment is... but I do recollect now that you mention it, that years ago when I did put in some synthetic oil and it started slipping, I did adjust the clutch somehow. Thanks, this sounds worth checking out! I think the procedure must be in the Clymer manual?
That was at least a decade ago. I forget how much futzing I've done over the years. Completely forgot about that!
BTW, have you done the throwout rod adjustment at the ENGINE under the round clutch cover??? If it's not adjusted right, it won't fully release the clutch and will cause slippage....and as the clutch gets worn, the pressure plate moves closer to the throwout rod, and that's why it needs periodic adjusting to keep it the right distance away to ensure proper full clutch release/engagement.
