Caution on Re-assembling the Clutch
*
On both ends of the primary gear spacer are
thrust washers and thrust bearings.
If these
washers and bearings are incorrectly installed,
the clutch boss will rub directly on the
driven gear, impairing clutch action.
*
The thrust bearing assembly fits on the primary
retaining collar, but it may slip out of place
when installing clutch boss.
Therefore, apply
grease to both surfaces of the bearing to make
it stick to the gear retaining collar.
Before installing the clutch plate, friction plate,
etc., install the clutch boss on the main shaft.
