Clutch Assembly: Inspection
- Check release bearing and release fork for damage or wear. Do not clean bearing assembly in solvent. Inspect clutch cable for or signs of fraying. Check cable for rough movement.
- Inspect pressure plate surface for wear, cracks, and/or discoloration. Check clutch disc rivets and replace assembly if loose. Measure diaphragm spring ends for wear and uneven height. Replace assembly if difference between fingers exceeds .02" (.5 mm).
- Check clutch disc facing 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 does not exceed .012" (.30 mm). Replace worn or defective components as necessary.
CAUTION:
Clutch disc should be installed with manufacturer's stamp mark (located near hub of clutch disc) toward the pressure plate.
