Causes of Poor or Notchy Shifting
• Improper clutch release caused by faulty linkage or improper release linkage adjustment
• Improperly adjusted shifter or shift linkage
• Damaged/bent shift fork or forks
• Worn transmission synchronizer rings
• Improper transmission lubricant
• Pilot bearing/bushing binding on transmission input shaft
• Clutch disc hub spring pack hitting flywheel or flywheel bolts
• Damaged or defective pressure plate drive straps
• Bellhousing misalignment

Causes for Clutch Slippage
• Improper clutch adjustment
• Improper clutch release linkage adjustment
• Incorrect throwout bearing (too long or too short)
• Clutch assembly contaminated with grease or oil
• Clutch assembly not fully seated due to improper break-in procedure
• Flywheel not properly resurfaced—clutch disc is glazed
• Wrong clutch assembly for the vehicle and/or application (street, drag racing, etc.)
• Clutch assembly not strong enough for the vehicle’s power
• Broken clutch disc or missing friction material
• Defective or failed clutch assembly
• Flywheel improperly resurfaced
• Damaged or worn throwout bearing collar
• Damaged or bent clutch assembly
• Incorrect gear ratio to tire diameter

Causes of Improper Clutch Release
• Release linkage damaged, not properly adjusted or set
• Flywheel not surfaced or improperly surfaced before installing a new clutch
• Flywheel machined too thin or not manufactured to OEM specifications
• Leaking hydraulic system or trapped air in hydraulic system
• Release linkage cable stretched or damaged
• Improper clutch fork geometry due to a too-thin flywheel or deeper than stock bellhousing
• Improperly adjusted pivot ball
• Clutch disc installed backwards
• Clutch disc hitting flywheel bolts
• Clutch disc binding on transmission input shaft
• Clutch disc runout due to bent input shaft
• Bent or damaged pressure plate assembly and/or clutch disc

• Pressure plate has defective or damaged drive straps
• Damaged, worn, or improperly installed pivot bearing/bushing
• Damaged or worn throwout bearing collar

Causes of Clutch Chatter or Shudder
• Improper break-in procedure
• Flywheel not properly resurfaced before installing a new clutch
• Flywheel or clutch disc friction surface not parallel with the crank flange surface
• Flywheel has severe hard spots or hot spots
• Flywheel has an improper step or cup dimension
• Defective pressure plate and/or disc
• Disc has inadequate or no marcel (not enough cushion between friction facings)
• Oil or grease contamination on clutch facings
• Worn or damaged clutch linkage
• Bent cover assembly and/or clutch disc
• Damaged/excessively worn U-joints or CV joints
• Misaligned U-joints
• Excessive backlash in differential
• Excessive driveline angle
• Improper gear ratio versus tire diameter
