I know what clock bits are ;-)
The question was, why three missing clock bits (the MFM address mark has 
only one missing bit at position 5). But I've found out that this applies 
to the FM address mark where the clock bits 2, 3 and 4 are missing. The 
IBM manual just wasn't precise enough on this point.
