Steven, Avilla MO 02-08-2010 08:12:45 69.55.159.109 111433 Report to Moderator	After installing a new clutch in my 165 I've noticed that I have less gear crashing when I shift into gear after letting the tractor idle for a few minutes. I used to have to wait a good long time to shift or the gears would grind. Is there something about a new clutch that would help this? [Reply]   [No Email]

As has been mentioned, if the linings were 'sticky' the new plate will be released quicker with the dry linings. The new plate should have a 1 1/2 degree dishing to help clear quicker. I seem to recall it was your tractor that had worn splines. This could cause the plate to 'stick' slightly. Thirdly, if the main pressure plate is now withdrawing fully (may not have been before) it will release the plate quicker. Cheers DavidP   [Reply]   [Send Email]

Maybe the new clutch is adjusted properly and the old clutch was not. Have you checked pedal free play per the manual? Tom   [Reply]   [No Email]
