ADJUSTING LEVERS
While no wear adjustment is needed because of the coil
spring design, it is imperative that the clutch release
levers are each set to exactly the same height at the time
of manufacture or rebuild to insure uniform clutch
application. To obtain exactly the same adjustment at
each release lever, use gauge plate J-1048 and release
lever height gauge J-6456 as follows:
1. Place gauge plate J-1048 (fig. HE) on the flywheel
in position normally occupied by driven plate.
NOTE: It is recommended that a spare
flywheel be obtained so that this operation
may be performed at the bench.
2. Bolt cover on flywheel with gauge plate center.
