Phoenix 200 Ratcheting Noise

Some of the slip clutches (Spike Load Damper) that protect the transmission are set loose at the factory. You could add one more shim to the spring washer pack or if you're really courageous, you could add two. Remember, the slip clutch is there to protect the transmission. Too many shims could break it.
