Test G: Binding - Difficult Shift Lever Movement

Pinpoint Test G: Binding - Difficult Shift Lever Movement

Normal Operation
The clutch is designed to transfer the power from the engine to the transmission, which may be either stationary (starting) or rotating at a different speed (upshifting or downshifting). The clutch is functioning correctly when both the engine and transmission are rotating at the same speed with the clutch engaged. Clutch pedal movement is transmitted by fluid pressure, which rotates the release shaft. As the release shaft turns, the clutch release lever pulls back on the release bearing. This permits the clutch pressure plate to move away from the clutch discs, disengaging the clutch.

This pinpoint test is intended to diagnose the following:
^ Transmission
^ Clutch slave cylinder
^ Pilot bearing
