Clutch System

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING

CLUTCH
Road test and inspect components to determine a clutch problem. Road test the vehicle at normal speeds. Shift the transmission through all gear ranges and observe clutch action. If clutch chatters, grabs, slips or does not release properly, remove and inspect clutch components. If problem is noise or hard shifting, further diagnosis may be needed to the transmission and driveline component.
