For Eric-
When I did my clutch, the bottom 'handle'-part of the fork holding the throw-out bearing was bent forward, when the picture in the parts manual showed it as straight. I don't know how it got bent except for a previous owner with a real REAL heavy foot.
One possible reason you're running out of clutch rod may be a similar situation, in which the 'handle' of the fork is bent SO far forward that it's using more rod than necessary. You could probably take a peek at this through the hand-hole under the bell housing.
You experienced guys, I had a bearing-type throw-out, but I've heard of graphite blocks used as throw-outs. Is it possible for that to be sufficiently degraded that it would use up clutch rod? It's hard for me to conceive that a thinning clutch disc could use so much rod that it's no longer adjustable. Even with my mildly bent fork, I still had plenty of rod left over.
