I had that problem when we were machining clutches. . But it was on Club Cars Kawasaki FE290. The thrust washer that the 3 fingers push on got cockeyed when we re-assembled and it would do exactly that. It would run up to 7-10mph and shift, literly. I only worry about 2 things. 1-vibration. 2, our camp speed is 5mph and you would have to run it up past that to shift, then back off. I am considering trying it on a spare clutch I have for my home cart that runs 40+. It has a modified FE350 with machined clutches and 8:1 gears. But at 4000 I am not sure about it thrown out of balance. Sometimes a real heavy spring can cause this affect too.
