It's not what's pushing the rod that's the problem. What is the rod pushing on inside the clutch. It looks like it should be pulling the pressure plate up compressing the springs, but apparently it's pushing on something else.
Anyway that's what it does on the Triumph.
I'm sure someday I'll get to look at one, but I don't think I'll tear mine apart to check it, it's really not that big a deal. Just curious.

Think of a iron barrel clutch turned around backwards. The rod the cable is attached to pushes a pin that is centered in a bearing and the pressure plate is in the back.
Pretty industrial strength springs too. If you take the clutch pack apart plan on making a compressor tool to get it back together.
If you wish I could dig up a few pics of it tomorrow.

Thank you. I can understand how it works if the pressure plate is in the back. That certainly isn't clear in the manual.
