Troubleshooting
Clutch slipping after installation
Ensure the pressure plate was torqued correctly and evenly. Check for grease contamination on the clutch disc or flywheel surface. Verify correct alignment during installation.
Difficulty shifting gears
Confirm the clutch is fully disengaging. Check for proper fluid levels in the hydraulic system (if applicable) and inspect for leaks. Ensure the clutch disc was installed in the correct orientation.
Squealing or grinding noise when engaging clutch
Inspect the pressure plate for damage or uneven wear. Check the pilot bearing for wear or damage. Ensure the flywheel surface is properly prepared.
