New battery, I think the positive terminal is bad. Have looked for replacement on Autozone, but not sure what I am actually looking for. Please advise.

Take battery cable off and clean them with a wire brush then retighten them.Its sounds like they are just not tight enough.Also make sure to clean the posts on the battery too.If it still just clicks then check the battery voltage you should have at least 12 volts.If you don't you will to charge it and if it does'nt take a charge then replace it.

Getting one click sound when trying to start truck

Dead Battery. Try jump starting, then run it by any good parts store and have charging system tested and battery "load tested". Most parts stores (Autozone, Advance, etc..) will do this FREE

Clutch lever adjustment on 1998 Honda Shadow Aero

Hello After looking at a schematic unless there is an adjuster on the other end of the cable there no adjustment.
Depending on how long that cable has been on there it may be starting to stretch or individual strands and starting to break.

I go to start the car, the lights go on, but it doesn't start-- just clicks. I've replaced the starter and the ignition switch. When I replaced the relay switch, it worked fine for about 10 months, but now...

It sounds like a poor ground. Alyhough I'm sure they ck'd it, Check both ends of the ground cable. Even loosening to ensure good contact on retighten. Same with positive cable. Ground cable is more important.Good luck. If headlights go out when you only get a click, and stay out , you know its a bad connection. If they just dim , the battery has issues
