Difficulties with clean gear selection
Indicator:
Difficulties with clean gear selection (including when a new clutch has been fitted).
Cause:
1. The release of the clutch is insufficient (this will give a low clutch engagement)
2. The clutch hydraulics are preventing the clutch to operate efficiently
3. The clutch control system is not operating correctly allowing correct release (fork, pivot ball, operating cable etc)
Effect:
The clutch disc is not released correctly and still driving the gearbox
Action:
1. Assess the master cylinder adjustment (most have an adjustable push rod to lengthen the operating stroke)
2. Bleed the system to remove any trapped air (bleeding tools may be required to bleed correctly)
3. Assess the operating mechanisms to ensure they are serviceable an allowing the clutch to have optimum travel.
