That eliminates driveline issues then. Is this the clutch that got washed in diesel fuel? Does it engage smoothly?

It's been soaked in fuel and oil a few times.
Always holds good.
It's a bit grabby at the start though.
Sometimes it will run really smooth like butter and other times it's grabby.
I've been taking off in first the last few months because its annoying.

If I purposely hold the brake and let it slip it will slide and not jerk, its just when you take off it gets jerky.

The part that's worrying me though is that its starting to dig into the flywheel which is a bit odd.
The kevlar is supposed to help prevent that.

That sounds like the logical place to start then, IMO.

There could be a whole host of issues, but I don't really know until I try.

I was chatting with Dan Valance about it.
He says if I have a pilot bearing trashed it could cause some issues like I'm seeing.

I need a new clutch anyways, I just dont wanna deal with getting the PP and Flywheel re-surfaced right now.
