P1000 Normal clutch/transmission?

[Cohutta]

Mine runs more like a chainsaw centrifugal clutch. It winds up then catches. Is that normal?

Also, the new burnt smell wore off months ago. Now there is a smell almost like smoldering vegetation, but I can't find any debris caught on it. Any ideas?

That doesn't sound normal. I'd get it checked out

It's not a long wind up. It catches quick, but it doesn't seem to be a direct link up like my truck.

Mine has very quick engagement. I mean whiplash type engagement. If you're having some slippage, I'd say that wasn't normal. But everybody's definition of slippage isn't the same so I don't know.

Agreed. Mine is instant. Like an automatic car

Both of mine have been instant as well.

I'm having trouble selecting forward or reverse. It's like the clutch won't completely let go when idling. Also it takes a breath between gears under firm acceleration. Anyone else?

I don't think it's slippage. When it goes, it goes. It's more like the old timey cars at Six Flags.
