• Ensure bell housing is thoroughly degreased and clean of dirt and fibres before installing new clutch.
• Ensure inspection locations and boots are replaced, tightened and well located.
  
  Note: These problems are common on farm vehicles, vehicles travelling on sand and 4X4 recreational vehicles.
