Checking Free Play Gain allows you to externally monitor
the installed gap, so you can know when to make an
adjustment if the installed gap is too large or too small.
The correct installed gap is verified by observing and feeling
the increased free play movement in the clutch lever. This
extra movement is called “Free Play Gain.”
·
If there is too much Free Play Gain,
the installed gap
is too small.
o
The vehicle may drag and stall because it has
difficulty disengaging the clutch. It may also be
difficult to shift.
o
Too much Free Play Gain will not hurt the clutch, but
it will negatively affect clutch performance.
