bmw 2004 R1150rt I replaced clutch- went back together- not working.

The push rod should only go in one way, the longer shank into the clutch “spring”, and the stubby nub into the bearing on the output cylinder. Changing the felt sleeve is a nice finishing touch on this job, but wouldn’t effect clutch engagement/disengagement. Another “bad clutch” symptom on these bikes are the drive shaft. The damping vulcanized rubber that holds the inner sleeve and the outer sleeve of the drive shaft together separates from the inner, leaving the outer spinning and the inner doing nothing. To check this, a careful eye looking up the inside of the cardan tube (swing arm) wall to see of there’s rubber “spatter” where the end of the outer tube is.
