For the past week or so I've been having to adjust my clutch every couple of days, the screws are backing off and have to be tightened up again.

The lock nut must not be holding it's spot like it should be.

Should I buy another lock nut, I guess just any other one would work?

Suggestions! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/209.85.62.26-11654-1319232349.1.gif)
