So... Is there a trick to getting the clutch to disengage properly? I installed the new lever and cannot pull the clutch in and freely roll the bike back and forth. I can feel the the clutch sticking while rolling the bike back and forth.
Here's the clutch lever installed...

In the process of removing the original lever, I did manage to tear up this little plastic piece -- is this part critical to installation? The little plastic clutch cable end piece?

Final question -- is this sufficient to lubricate the lever?

Maybe you have tightened it to much?
There is no need to tighten the pivot like a mentalist, if you do so, you will squeeze it so much that the lever will barely move.
I don't think that the little plastic bit is essential.
WD40 will give you a mixed bag of answers, it's not really a good lubricant. It might work to lube the cables, but for the pivot points etc you should use white lithium grease.
