CORRECTING
CLUTCH
HOUSING
FACE
RUNOUT
Housing face r u n o u t can be corrected b y i n s t a l l i n g
shims between the c l u t c h housing and transmission
(Fig. 7). T h e shims can be made from s h i m stock or
s i m i l i a r materials of the required thickness.
As a n example, assume t h a t face r u n o u t is t h e
same as shown i n Figure 6 a n d i n step (4) above. I n
t h i s case, three shims w i l l be needed. S h i m t h i c k -
nesses should be .009 ( a t t h e .000 corner), .012 (at
the -.003 corner) and .013 i n c h (at t h e -.004 corner).
After i n s t a l l i n g the c l u t c h assembly a n d housing,
t i g h t e n t h e housing bolts nearest t h e alignment dow-
els first. Correct housing bolt torques are: 30 ft-lbs
for 3/8 diameter bolts a n d 50 ft-lbs for 7/16 diameter
bolts.
