Clutch Assembly: Inspection
- Check release bearing and release fork for damage or wear. DO NOT clean release bearing assembly in solvent. Inspect hydraulic system components for fluid leakage, and cylinder dust boot for cracks or deterioration.
- Inspect pressure plate surface for wear, cracks, and/or discoloration. Measure diaphragm spring ends for wear and uneven height. Replace assembly if height difference between fingers exceeds .02" (.5 mm).
- Check facing of clutch disc for loose rivets, uneven contact, deterioration, seizure or oil saturation. Measure distance from clutch disc surface to head of rivet. Replace clutch disc if distance is less than .012" (.30 mm). Replace worn or defective components as necessary.
CAUTION:
Install clutch disc with manufacturer's stamp mark (located near hub of clutch disc) toward pressure plate.
