Component Tests and General Diagnostics

1. Run the engine at normal idle with the transmission in neutral and the clutch engaged.
2. Disengage the clutch (clutch pedal depressed), wait approximately nine seconds and shift the transmission into reverse.
3. If a grinding noise is heard, check the clutch for engagement.





After performing the preliminary checks and checking clutch spin down time, refer to CLUTCH DIAGNOSIS to assist in proper diagnosis of clutch problems.
