Right so unscrewing the screw allows the arm to be moved. I will get on that tomorrow then.

yes, wind the screw adjuster out so you are absolutely certain it isn't in contact with the clutch push rod.

Then set the arm angle.

Then wind the screw adjuster in until it goes solid and then back it off slightly and do up the lock nut.

Okay so that may be where I've been messing up. I've been trying to move the arm lower as you wrote but couldn't. Obviously everytime I went to do that the screw was wound in.

Right millemille I've spent time on it doing everything you stated. I've taken out the rod and cleaned and greased it. I've cleaned the worm and greased it, unscrewed the screw entirely and greased that. I loosened everything and trying lowering the arm. I've then tightened the screw until it stopped then wound it back 1/8th a turn. (In the past this is the step that I did different as in the past I screw it until I saw the arm move then back it off 1/8th.) Is this right now? I will have to go for a ride tomorrow and hope it doesn't slip in the higher gears.

Looks ok to me, other than you need to do up the lock nuts on the clutch cable!

If the clutch is still slipping it's not because of the actuator....

I have done up the lock nuts. I think it is in the same position as the start but my initial camera angle made it look off. Just to confirm to turn the screw till it stops then back off 1/8th? Thank you for persevering with me also.

All sounds good. I would only do up the locknut at the handlebar end finger tight while you are trying it out so it's easy to adjust - I took the rubber boot off mine though and I also find that I need to do up the locknut with pliers it shakes loose. You'll need to adjust the cable from one or both ends (doesn't matter which) to get the biting point in a comfortable place.
