GENERAL INFORMATION
CLUTCH COMPONENTS
The clutch mechanism consists of a single, dry-type
clutch disc and a diaphragm style clutch cover. A
hydraulic linkage is used to operate the clutch disc
and cover. The clutch components are very similar to
those used in gas engine models.
A pilot bearing is used to support the transmission
input shaft. The bearing is seated in a separate,
removable housing bolted to the flywheel hub.
CLUTCH HYDRAULIC SYSTEM
The clutch hydraulic system should not require
additional fluid under normal circumstances.
NOTE: The reservoir
increase as normal clutch wear occurs. For this rea-
son, it is important to avoid over filling, or remov-
ing fluid from the reservoir.

If inspection indicates additional fluid is needed,
add fluid from a sealed container only. Use Mopar
brake fluid, or an equivalent meeting standards SAE
J1703 and DOT 3. Do not use any other type of fluid.
REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION
CLUTCH COVER AND DISC
REMOVAL
(1) Remove transmission and transfer case, if
equipped. (Refer to Group 21, Transmission And
Transfer Case.)
(2) If original clutch cover will be reinstalled, mark
position of cover on flywheel for assembly reference.
Use paint or scribe for this purpose.
(3) If clutch cover is to be replaced, cover bolts can
be removed in any sequence. However, if original
cover will be reinstalled, loosen cover bolts evenly in
a star pattern to relieve spring tension equally. This
is necessary to avoid warping the cover.
(4) Remove clutch cover bolts and remove cover
and disc (Fig. 1).
