First, I want to thank everyone for their advice. You guys are quite deep.
I apologize for differential terminology!

I had upgraded from half/half to full syn. in this last yr. The previous car oil was only for eng./trans.; wasn't in shaft area.

My update is that I rode it yesterday instead of two other bikes, because there was a threat of rain, and this bike is better suited to handle the wet.

What I noticed like starting from a stoplight, that the clutch lever was lazy to return to normal position, I manually pushed it outward from me with the back of my hand.

When I came to the same moderate hill I've mentioned earlier at 55mph., this time I preventively pushed out w the back of my hand to make sure the lever would stay in it's proper place, I had no slip problem at all.
I get the gut feeling that as Frank mentioned, that I simply may need to make an adjustment there at the cable end.


The reason this old of a bike has so few miles, is that there are a lot of fair weather only riders here in the wet Pac. NW.
