Thanks Eric for the follow-up note. I will look at it when I can, my wife is very ill in the hospital and my astronomy is on the back burner. I have the precision tools and
skill to make the repairs if I can find the problem. I started this ¡°topic¡± by asking if the clutch should influence the worm torque, and the answer is no. As I remember, there was no indicators of rubbing and the worm turn
the shaft nicely with low clutch loading, but I will recheck as to your suggestion.
