The issue
VEHICLES WITH MANUAL TRANSMISSIONS. A LOW SPRING LOAD ON THE PAWL TO ENGAGE QUADRANT TEETH OF THE SELF ADJUSTING CLUTCH MECHANISM WILL RESULT IN SLIPPAGE AND PREVENT CLUTCH RELEASE WHEN THE PEDAL IS DEPRESSED TO THE FLOOR.
Description (français)
Une faible pression du ressort sur le cliquet peut permettre à celui-ci de patiner et de ne pas accrocher la couronne dentée du mécanisme de l'embrayage auto-réglable, empêchant ainsi le débrayage, même si la pédale est enfoncée à fond.
