Any suggestions folks? My the clutch mechanism keeps switching itself off on my slx m7000 rear mech, the little on/off lever keeps moving away from on position and ends up floating about between on an off.

This isn't helping to keep my chain on when going over rough stuff (the couple of teeth missing on the chainring wont help either - new one on order)

Would increasing the clutch tension help with this?

Should do. The lever will be harder to push into the on position (and harder to move from it) with higher clutch tension. Those mechs (I have two) benefit from having the clutch stripped and cleaned/lubed fairly regularly anyway.

Cheers Martin, it's become more noticeable after I cleaned it - maybe need to up the tension.

Thanks

Check you put the slotted bit back on in the correct orientation.
