Troubleshooting Clutch ProblemsSince all major clutch repairs involve splitting the engine and transmission, if either the disc or cover assembly is replaceddue to wear or damage, you should also replace the drive plate, bearings and, in the case of a disc replacement, the coverassembly. By doing so, you’ll help ensure peak clutch performance while making the most of having the tractor split. You’llalso make it less likely you’ll have to split the tractor again for a clutch issue for a very long time.Clutch Does Not ‘Clear’ (Drags or Spins)Culprit Possible Causes SolutionsCLUTCHHub is sticking to the splinedinput shaftLinings ‘rested’ into theflywheel or pressure plateClutch disc too thickPilot bearing not operatingcorrectlyClutch not disengaging cleanlySplines were damaged during fittingHub splines or input shaft are damagedHub is rusted solid on the shaftClutch was engaged while the machinestood unused for a long period of timeWrong drive plate for the applicationBearing is jammed or defectiveRelease bearing clearance too greatRelease system wornClutch not properly tightenedDuring fitting, the hub was bent or thespline was damagedThe lever or diaphragm spring fingerswere bent when the housing wasassembled to the engineClutch overstrokedClutch reservoir lacks fluidHydraulic system leakingAir in the hydraulic systemRemove burrs from the spline; replace w/ anew plateReplace the plate, shaft, or bothClean the hub and the shaft to free the hub;grease shaft slightlySandpaper the parts, including the facingsReplace w/ the correct drive plateReplace the pilot bearingAdjust bearing to the specified settingReplace worn and defective partsProperly tighten clutch boltsReplace w/ a new drive plateReplace clutchCheck pedal travel stop,adjusting as necessaryRefill clutch reservoirReplace defective partsRemove air from systemClutch NoiseCulprit Possible Causes SolutionsDrive platePilot bearingRelease bearingRelease linkageTorsion damperWrong plate was installedPilot bearing is defective or wasnot properly installedBearing is defective, runs dry, or is runningunalignedRelease linkage or pedal brushing is wornor defectiveDamper is worn or was broken due towrong driving habits, with low revolutionsat full throttle in high gearsReplace w/ the correct drive plateReplace w/ a new pilot bearingProperly align the bearing,or replace w/ a new oneRepair the linkage or brushing,or replace w/ newReplace w/ a new drive plate170
