Clutch Drag…

I’ve recently stripped my 2006 S4RS clutch down to lightly reface the clutch plates as they were glazed and gave an annoying squeal when pulling off.

It’s a dry slipper clutch so quiet a simple and quick job. However, now that it’s all back together I appear to have clutch drag, pulling the lever doesn’t disengage the clutch enough which prevents me selecting first whilst stationary unless I kill the engine. Symptoms are very similar to having air in the system, so although I haven’t tampered with the hydraulics as a precaution I’ve bleed the clutch but to no avail.

Anyone experienced the same or can throw some suggestions my way?

Thanks
Rob
