Lining Failure
Indicator
No drive. With the clutch engaged the vehicle increases in RPM but does not move. May even have difficulties disengaging the clutch.
Causes
1. Incorrect clutch free travel
2. Worn or damaged clutch control components (Fork, Pivot Ball, Cable, Master Cylinder and/or Slave Cylinder)
3. Oil/Grease contamination
4. Driver error
Effect
The clutch has exceeded normal operating temperature resulting in the lining material to carbonize. When clutch disc linings carbonize the bonding resin in the lining material melts causing the material to break down.
Action
1. Replace clutch kit.
2. Adjust the clutch control to manufacturers specifications.
3. Inspect all clutch control components (repair or replace)
4. Inspect all oil seals for leaking. Replace if necessary.
5. Driver education.
