Barney Eaton Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 Start by checking all the connections associated with the clutch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D-a-n-i-e-l Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 Time for a rebuild or replacement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronnie Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 Could be a weak clutch coil but I would bet the air gap is too wide on the clutch and needs adjusted. You said it would work if pushed closer to the coil. The air gap should be .020 - .030. The same tool that removes the clutch can be used to press the clutch on a little further. You can rent the tool from Autozone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
