I feel pretty stupid that I haven't been able to track this one down.
82 T140ES.
Idling in gear, you can feel small attempts to intermittently move forward. Bring the RPM up a little and it's more noticeable. It's spotty, not consistent at all other than it always does it, hot or cold.
I pulled the plates, expecting them to be glued together... but they weren't. I cleaned them anyway and they look OK. The wear marks in the clutch basket where the plate tangs ride are not bad enough to where the plate could hang up, not bad at all in fact, just a visible mark with no depth to it. The clutch cable was a little frayed inside the gearbox cover, so now it has a new cable. Still does it. Pushrod length was checked, there's no 'lift' or wobble to the clutch basket when it spins and engages/disengages. Pressure plate lifts evenly.
So, uh....
