Book says loosen the locknut then turn the set screw counterclockwise till you feel slight pressure then turn it 1/8 turn clockwise..lock the locknut. Seems like With new friction plates seems like I have to screw it out(counterclockwise) a lot before I feel pressure. Does this sound normal?

 

Acts like it don't want to go in neutral. Got ate last night so hadn't added the oil or cranked it yet. I coated the plates with oil before I installed them. Suggestions, thoughts? Something I need to check before I put oil in it and crank it? Thanks
