Sticky clutch TC

Post by mengels » Thu Sep 14, 2023 2:47 am

Hi all,

With my TC, I have the problem that on hot days when the engine is also hot, that the clutch gets sticky....it's almost impossible to get it in first gear without a major "klunk".
Does anybody know what the problem could be?
Thanks,

Maarten

When the gearbox is hot, the oil will be thinner and the synchros will be working harder. It's possible your clutch is worn and not fully disengaging, or possibly just the throw out bearing. Try tightening the adjuster on the clutch arm chain and see if this helps.
