You want some oil on the clutch pack, and if it's like ours , oil wants to leak out everywhere... yes just so it runs in some oil, as it slops it around when running, I guess thats why they say half way on the shaft. By now you are aware of the clutch spring "keeper" or whatever some call it, but I find that a rag packed down in there helps a clumsy guy if it falls down into the tranny, been there...We were blowning seals till we found that a breather wasn't screwed into the side hole on the tranny case,it had a plug!!! (was owned by a doctor before us) and as it warmed up the pressure built up and it would blow axle seals, ugh. We run #30 in ours...non detergent. Make sure that you are adjusting the clutch that you want adjusted( move the shifter as you look at the clutch and see if it's clamping up tight)...foward or reverse clutch, as there is one for each. Take the "keeper" off ( spring clip) hold onto one of the clutch teeth and turn it a few clicks, put it back on and test it...I don't know if running the shaft half way in oil will change anything, as it could have a washing away effect of loose particles of clutch material, but the clutch pack will snap tight when the shifter is moved to it's full travel....I guess you can play around with it. I do have the name of a dealer for parts in Ohio, and they ship quick, but I need to look that up sometime, hope this helps, ask more questions till you're satisfied...another doug
