Thanks, Tim and Neil for your help addressing my wheel pilot problem. Neil's manual was the correct one for the 4000+. My actuator didn't have the ball bearings that Tim described. Once I got the actuator off the wheel and opened it, I found a bad belt.. A new belt from eBay for $22 fixed the problem. With the new belt, the clutch lever no longer pops out of gear, a problem that has bothered me for years.
