Clutch Disassembly and Inspection
1. Insert special tool (or transaxle main shaft) in flywheel
pilot bearing hole to keep disk from falling off.
2. Loosen clutch cover capscrews (Item 10) in a diago-
nal sequence.
3. Remove capscrews, washers (Item 11) and clutch
cover (Item 12), then pull out the special tool and remove
clutch disk (Item 13).
4. Inspect diaphragm spring end of cover for wear and
uneven height. Replace if wear is evident or height differ
ence exceeds the limit.

5. Check pressure plate surface for wear, cracks and
color change.
6. Check strap plate rivets for looseness and replace
clutch cover assembly if loose.
7. Check clutch disk facing for loose rivets, uneven con

clutch slides freely on splines of shaft. Check for exces-
sive play in rotating direction.
11. Inspect flywheel pilot bearing (Item 14) for wear or
