Driven Disc and Pressure Plate

REMOVAL & INSTALLATION

1. Remove the transmission assembly from the vehicle.
2. Matchmark the clutch cover to the flywheel.
3. Remove the clutch pressure plate retaining bolts in small amounts and in a crisscross pattern to relieve the clutch disc spring tension.
4. At the clutch cover, loosen each bolt one turn until spring tension is released.
5. Remove the clutch cover-to-flywheel bolts. Remove the clutch cover and the clutch disc.
6. If the clutch release bearing is to be replaced, perform the following:
   1. Remove the bearing retaining clip(s), the bearing and hub.
   2. Remove the release fork and the boot.
   3. The bearing is press fitted to the hub.
   4. Clean all parts and lightly grease the input shaft splines and all of the contact points.
   5. Install the bearing/hub assembly, the fork, the boot and the retaining clip(s) in their original locations.

      To install:

7. Inspect the flywheel surface for cracks, heat scoring (blue marks) and warpage. Replace or resurface the flywheel, if any damage is present.

   NOTE: Before installing any new parts, make sure they are clean. During installation, do not get grease or oil on any of the components, as this will shorten clutch life considerably.

8. Using an clutch alignment tool, position the clutch disc against the flywheel. The raised center section of the disc faces the transmission.
9. Position the clutch cover onto the flywheel and align the matchmarks.
10. Install the clutch cover retaining bolts. Tighten the bolts in a crisscross pattern to 14 ft. lbs. (19 Nm).
11. Lubricate the release fork pivot and contact points, release bearing, bearing hub and input shaft spline surfaces with a suitable molybdenum disulfide lithium based or Multi-purpose grease.
12. Install the boot, release fork, hub, and the bearing assemblies.
13. Install the transmission to the vehicle.
14. Connect the negative battery cable.
