Morning all,
Re 'C' clip on transmission output shaft U/Joint.
When correctly engaged there is still a small 1/16" (1mm) amount of axial play.
So as suggested by Darrell we had all best have a look in the front before dropping the FD as if no clip the FD will not drop as it should.
I don't know if you can see the front of the U/J at Gbox end by pushing the boot forward. If you can (dentist mirror and torch?) it should be hard against a shoulder, if more than 1mm away the clip is not engaged or missing so FD will have to be fully removed!!!
Riding will start soon after Covid and or winter so enjoy the RS and keep safe.
