CLUTCH REMOVAL FROM CAR
The clutch assemblies of models 1C and 2C can
be removed from the car without dismounting the
clutch bell housing from the engine. The floor panel
is welded in position and cannot be removed. There-
fore, all clutch work must be done from beneath the
car. To remove the clutch assembly from the car,
proceed as follows:
1. Raise car and place jack stands under front suspen-
sion lower support arms.
2. Disconnect the propeller shaft companion flange
and remove the shaft.
3. Disconnect the speedometer cable.
4. Disconnect the shift selector levers from the trans-
mission.
NOTE: Electrical wiring must be disconnected
from the control switch, solenoid and governor
and the wiring harness released from the clips on
transmissions equipped with overdrive .
5. Remove the two screws (27) attaching the clutch
cross shaft support assembly (26) to the transmis-
sion and remove the support, Figure 6.
6. Place transmission floor jack under the transmis-
sion.
7. Disconnect the adjusting rod (2) from the outer end
of the clutch throw-out lever (5).
8. Remove the three attaching screws from the throw-
out lever boot (22) and remove retainer and boot
off the lever.
9. Remove the four cap screws attaching the transmis-
sion to the clutch bell housing. Slide the transmis-
sion toward the rear of the car until the
transmission main shaft clears the bell housing
and lower carefully to the floor.

pin spring (14) from the clutch bell housing and throw-
out lever pivot, Figure 7. Remove the throw-out lever
and the clutch release bearing assemblies from the bell
housing.
11. Punch mark the clutch cover, pressure plate lug
and flywheel for correct positioning during reassembly.
12. Remove the six cap screws attaching the clutch
assembly to the flywheel and carefully remove the
assembly.
NOTE: When removing the clutch assembly,
loosen each cap screw only a few turns at a time
until the spring tension is relieved. Otherwise dis-
tortion of the clutch cover might result leading to
a chattering clutch condition when reassembled.
CLUTCH DISASSEMBLY

always under spring tension. Exercise c are when dis-
assembling the unit to avoid injury or damage to parts.
To disassemble clutch proceed as outlined below:
