Difficulty Changing Gears

Cause of Problem - The transmission was forced into position damaging the splines of the disc hub.

Solution - Install new clutch and carefully control the position and alignment of the transmission during installation.  Use a transmission jack and possibly install temporary guide pins to assist in aligning the transmission to the engine.

Cause of Problem - The cover assembly has been dropped.

Solution - Install new clutch.  Always inspect the drive straps for damage before installation.

Cause of Problem - The cover has not been located on the flywheel dowel pins correctly.

Solution - Install new clutch and ensure all flywheel dowel pins are in position and in good condition.  Do not use air tools to tighten the bolts.

Cause of Problem - The self-adjusting mechanism fails to lock due to worn ratchet and pawl.

Solution - Repair self-adjusting release system.  Replace ratchet and pawl

Cause of Problem - Release bearing travel is insufficient.

Solution - Inspect release mechanism for full travel or lost motion due to worn parts.  A stamped steel release arm can wear and break.  Always remove and check arm and external pivots.  Install new fork bushings and lubricate as required with high melting point grease.
