INSPECTION
Inspect facing material on all driving discs.
Replace discs that are charred, glazed, or heavily pit-
ted. Discs should also be replaced if they show evi-
dence of material flaking off, or if facing material can
be scraped off easily. Inspect driving disc splines for
wear or other damage. Inspect steel plate and pres-
sure plate surface for burning, scoring, or damaged
REAR ASSEMBLY CLUTCH
driving lugs. Replace if necessary. Inspect plates and
discs for flatness; they must not be warped or cone-
shaped.
Inspect steel plate lug grooves in clutch retainer
for smooth surfaces; plates must travel freely in the
grooves. Note ball check in piston; be sure ball moves
freely. Inspect seal rings surfaces in clutch retainer
for nicks or deep scratches; light scratches will not
interfere with sealing of the seals. Inspect Neoprene
seal rings for deterioration, wear, and hardness.
Inspect piston spring and waved snap ring for distor-
tion or breakage.
Inspect Teflon and/or cast iron seal rings on input
shaft for wear. Do not remove rings unless conditions
warrant. Inspect rear clutch to front clutch No. 2
thrust washer for wear. Washer thickness should be
0.061 to 0.063 inch. Replace if necessary.
