Using a surface plate, test the cover for flatness. All sections
around the attaching bolt holes should be in contact with
surface plate.
Examine the condition of the clutch release bearing. The clutch
release bearing is a prelubricated, sealed thrust bearing and
should not be immersed in solvent. The bearing should turn
freely when turned by hand under light thrust load, with no
evidence of roughness. If the bearing is noisy, rough or dry,
replace the complete bearing assembly with a new assembly.
