Love them easy fixes.
But now you gotta wonder why the clutch adjustment changed. Do you have your spare cable at the ready? Is there any evidence the cable is pulling loose from the ferrule at either end?
Edit: never mind, I see you've already addressed this in another post.

Yup, I've driven it a couple of times and shifting is back to normal after the adjustment.
I do wonder if the cable stretched/is getting ready to fail. I ordered a backup & will swap it soon-ish.

Have you been over-slipulating your clutch ... wearing it back some?

I'm pretty anti-over-slipulation in general. Very gentle.

Metro - If'n your gear teefs are lined up all whopper-jawed (when off), it ain'ta gonna be easy to get into gear (when stopped). I don't think I'd let a hard shift when off sway my overall opinion. If it shifts well when the engine is going round-n-round, I think you're good. My $0.02. Let me know if I should be expecting change back.

So what you're saying is not to reef on the shifter like Hercules when shifting from 1->2 @6500RPM, without using the clutch.
The very few times I've played Schui the car shifted fine through all the gears @redline and no clutch. It's a little *****y to downshift w/o clutch but a blip of the gas fixes it.
I'm trying to imagine how damage would result since the synchros won't move unless the RPM aligns the next gear in the chain.

The syncros are like a little brake that slows the rotating assy down so the speed is the same on both parts so the shift collar can engage. The syncros don't move, they just match the speed of the shift collar. Here's a quick vid to kinda show it.https://www.bing.com/videos/search?q...tail&FORM=VIRE And yes, quickly jamming & forcing shifts will wear the syncros & cause grinding & hard shifts...

Makes sense but what causes me to pause is my Dad drove a cement mixer for ages. When he taught me to drive it the clutch was only used to start out and do full stops. They had 20 year old mixers in the yard with nary a tranny failure.
And....what brand summer yard equipment, bar honda, is reliable and parts are available? I think that's your trade?
