Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“The clutch quit engaging while in traffic and I was nearly stranded on I-25 in stop and go traffic. I was able to nurse it along to a nearby parking lot with the clutch slipping very badly. I could have easily been rear ended. I took it apart and found the wet-clutch system was not getting any oil, it was completely dry. I bought a new clutch pack and cleaned the oil jet that supplies the clutch with oil. The clutch worked fine after oiling and installing it. It started slipping badly only a few hundred miles later. …”
