Her is agreat tip for Knuckles. With everyoen running ASV, MSR or what ever aftermarket clutch you get alot of slack in the cable that needs to be taken up by adjusting the cable to it's max and that just barely enough. SO Knuckles, Sean< cmoes over and says he nees a 3/16 socket or 5 MM in 1/4 " drive. And here is why.....

In this pic you can see the socket installed in my ASV lever and it works GREAT!

You will First need to drill out the side of the socket that goes into the perch. Depending what socket you use get a bit that is the same size or slightly larger and drill all the way through the socket. This is to open up the socket so the cable can pass through.

This next step may not be needed. On the side that the cable shield sits in, the 1/4 drive side, this may or may not need to be drilled out. double check first but if you do just drill it to the size you need..you want hte cable shield to sit snugly in that socket.

Last just cut the socket with a hack saw 2 blade widths. This is just enough for the cable to fit in. Install the socket into the perch, you may need to "suck" it in with the cable or press it in and you are ready to go!

Any questions feel free to ask... Thanks Knuckles!
