    The clutch on my 2016 VNL is starting to slip after only 420,000 miles. The shop claims these clutches are non-adjustable and needs to be replaced. I've never heard of a non adjustable clutch before. Any truth to this?

    2016 VNL 430 with D13
    Eaton 10 speed.

    Very possible if original probably no adjustment or self adjust clutch.

    Might be a stupid question but is it a hydraulic clutch? The company I work for has a new Pete with a hydraulic clutch and it's non-adjustable too

    Being hydraulic or not does not determine if a clutch is adjustable. Type of clutch (self or manual adjust) does.
