Diagnostic Aids
An intermittent hard shift may be caused after installation of a new clutch actuator. With a new clutch actuator, the annular seal may not be in the forward position and not allow full clutch release. With a self adjusting clutch, the clutch may be between adjustments and not allow full clutch release. This might be felt by a low clutch pedal load. After several applications, the clutch may adjust properly to give the proper pedal feel.
