The clutch pressure plate bearing may break when the clutch is operated frequently due to insufficient load rating of the bearing. As a consequence, the clutch may fail to operate and the transmission will not shift properly.

As a consequence, the resin gear may break which could result in engine damage due to lack of oil supply.
