Feedback after taking the test: this is the most useful video out of the miniseries. Yes, there was 6 questions about the clutch, but it seemed like there was way more! Clutch chatter, slippage, and drag. There was a clutch slippage question that included issues in the rear axle. There was a question that used the method to diagnose input shaft bearing/output shaft bearing noise, but it was diagnosing noise after the transmission.
Ok, the first question , answer is (D) "Poor flywheel surface finish." If the flywheel is machined but if the way its cut is "angled," then the flywheel will be "warped" a little bit. This can cause clutch chatter. (A) is incorrect because an incorrect [release bearing] will probably have issues with RELEASING the clutch (B) is incorrect because a [release bearing] sits on the release fork, if its bent there can be issues with RELEASING the clutch. (C) is incorrect because stiff linkage can cause clutch RELEASE issues. The second question, answer is (A) "weak pressure plate springs," those will cause clutch slippage. This being an EXCEPT question, the rest of the choices will cause the clutch to not fully release. (B) was explained in the video (C) warped clutch disc, in theory can still be engaged because some of the "warped part" is still engaged. (D) seized pilot bearing will eat away at the input shaft's tip, this can cause the pressure plate and clutch to be "warped" to the flywheel. (C) and (D) are extreme examples of theoretical faults.

Just passed my A3, I did a final review with all your videos. Thank you for all your info it really helped
Ayy man thanks to your A6 tips, I passed my test today
These are very well done!
I would like if the answers to the test questions are reviewed and explained they are right/wrong.
i agree too
