Condition
Some customers may comment on a grind noise from the transmission when the clutch is released all the way, clutch pedal pushed all the way to the
floor.
Cause
A over travel condition of the clutch could cause a clutch finger to clutch disk interference that may emit a grinding type noise transmitted through the
clutch actuator pipe to the clutch pedal to the driver's foot.
Correction
A new clutch actuator pipe which includes a damper has been developed to reduce the vibration and noise. Replace the clutch actuator pipe using the
procedure and part numbers listed below.
Important:
DO NOT REPLACE the following clutch components. They WILL NOT correct this condition.
