Progress: Checked everything over again and reinstalled the cover.

- 7 friction plates (1st and last plates as well)
- 6 steel plates
- ball and cap in place inside basket

The clutche lever/cable action now feels like normal with no gap
However, when I pull in the lever while in gear, the tranny does not
disengage. I tried again after refilling the fluid and still the same. Do
I need to run the bike after new plates to set them in place properly to start disengaging?
