ok, defintions needed...grabbing; a sudden engagement, snatch... slipping; not engaging...
you have slippage.
a new engine...hmmmms.... welll... could just be oil on the clutch plate...clean it or its a deeper more fundamental problem! such as the cables too tight? non? move on... time to possibly dismantle something
the clutch operates with a spring n stuff, and in behind the clutch plate, theres a bearing, with a bush and a nut and so forth...sometimes these protrude slightly too far due to lousy tolerancing, and the clutch plate cant move in far enough, hence it slips on the lil runbber friction pads, it never really engages, and it can never be fixed...
unless you grind the bush/nut/thread back slightly only 1/16 or so!
