Witch clutch do you mean exactly? The clutch for driving or the clutch for the mower deck? Is the mowerdeck engaged with a electric switch?

Main clutch controlling deck....fitted a new one today....relativity straightforward....but fiddly....

Clutch was the problem apparently mine is a non electric....and they have spring loaded balls inside....I think my old clutch has lost a spring and some balls....it is now perfect....I am just £250 lighter in pocket!!!

Do you mine posting the model number from the serial number tag? I would like to see what PTO clutch you have. Plus I hop when you install the new clutch you used anti-seize compound.
