Correct...oil has nothing to do with the clutch. However, the adjustment
would have to be seriously out of spec for the clutch not to actuate.
I'd be looking at a new clutch to be safe (this is the original correct?)

If there is 12 volts at the coil, the clutch should make irreguardless of
the condition of the rest of the system, which by the way is in good order.
I am energizing the clutch by disconnecting the connector and jumpering
straight off the battery and seeing the same indications. I believe that the
gap may be too large between the flex plate armature and the face of the
rotor assembly. Will try to adjust today, hope there are shims back there!
