CLUTCH PRESSURE PLATE
AND OR DISC
REMOVAL
1. Raise the car on a hoist.
2. Disconnect the drive shaft
from the rear U-joint
flange.
Then
slide the drive shaft off the trans-
mission output shaft. Insert appro-
priate Extension Housing Seal In-
stallation tool over the output shaft
and into the extension housing oil
seal.
3. Disconnect the speedometer
cable from the extension housing.
4. Disconnect the gear shift rods
from the transmission levers.
5. Support the engine with a
transmission jack and remove the
two
nuts
securing the transmission
rear support to the crossmember.
6. Raise the rear of the engine
with the transmission jack. Remove
the two nuts, washers, and bolts
securing the crossmember to the
frame supports. Remove the cross-
member.
7. Remove the bolts that attach
the transmission to the flywheel
housing.
8. Move the transmission rear-
ward until the input shaft clears the
flywheel housing, then remove the
transmission.
9. Remove the clutch
slave
cylinder.
10. Remove the starter
cable.
Remove the starter motor from the
flywheel housing.
11. Remove the bolts that secure
the engine rear plate or flywheel
housing lower cover plate to the
front lower part of the flywheel
housing.
12. Remove the bolts that attach
the flywheel housing to the cylinder
block and remove the housing and
the release lever as a unit.
13. Loosen the pressure plate
cover attaching bolts evenly to release
the spring tension. If the same
pressure plate and cover is to
be installed after the clutch is
overhauled mark the cover and
flywheel so that the pressure
plate can be installed in the same
position, to maintain a balanced
assembly. When fitting a new pres-
sure plate
and/
or flywheel
the
balance marks are to be placed
opposite each other. The heavy side
of the pressure plate is marked with
a daub of paint while the heavy side
of the flywheel is marked with a
drill point.
14. Remove the attaching bolts
while holding the pressure plate

cover, then remove the pressure
plate and clutch disc.
INSTALLATION
1.
Hold the clutch disc, and pres-
sure plate and cover assembly in
position on the flywheel. Start the
cover attaching bolts to hold the
pieces in place but do not tighten
them. Avoid dropping the parts
or contaminating them with oil
or grease.
Grade 5 bolts Part No. 382087-S
must be used.
2. Align the clutch disc with a
clutch arbor or an old transmission
input shaft and torque the pressure
plate cover attaching bolts evenly
to specification. Then remove the
tool.
3. Make certain that the release
bearing and hub is properly installed
on the release lever. Completely fill
the grease groove in the hub bore
and lightly smear the remainder of
the bore with a film of moly type
grease. Do not lubricate the clutch
disc hub.
4. Make certain that the fly-
wheel housing and the cylinder block
mounting surfaces are clean. Position
the flywheel housing on the cylinder
block and install the attaching bolts.
Torque the bolts to specifications.
5.
Lubricate the push rod
release lever end with grease MIC
75 A and install slave cylinder as
shown in Figs. 10-11-12.
6. Secure the engine rear plate
or flywheel housing lower cover plate
to the front of the flywheel housing
with the attaching bolts.
7. Install the starting motor and
connect the cable.
8. The mounting surfaces of the
transmission and the flywheel hous-
ing must be free of dirt, paint, and
burrs. Install two guide pins in the
flywheel housing lower mounting
bolt holes. Move the transmission
forward on the guide pins until it
is positioned against the flywheel
housing.
9. Install the two upper mount-
ing bolts. Then, remove the guide
pins and install the two lower
mounting bolts. Torque all bolts to
specifications.
10. Raise the rear of the engine
high enough to provide clearance for
installing the crossmember. Install
the two crossmember-to-frame sup-
port attaching bolts, washers, and
nuts. Do not tighten at this time.
11. Align the bolts in the trans-
mission rear support with the bolt
5-17
holes in the crossmember, then lower
the engine and remove the jack.
Install the two transmission rear
support-to-crossmember washers and
nuts and torque to specifications.
Tighten the crossmember-to-frame
support nuts.
12. Connect the gear shift rods to
the transmission levers. Adjust the
shift linkage.
13. Remove the tool from the
transmission output shaft, and install
the drive shaft.
14. Connect the speedometer cable
to the extension housing.
351 C.I.D. TWIN PLATE CLUTCH
REMOVAL
Refer to the preceding paragraphs
1-13 of clutch pressure plate and/or
disc remol'al.
1. If the same centre drive plate,
pressure plate and cover is to be
installed after the clutch is over-
hauled, mark them so that they can
be installed in the same position, to
maintain a balanced assembly.
When removing the twin plate
clutch from the flywheel, it is essen-
tial to firstly relieve the pressure
plate clamping load by evenly loosen-
ing the three mounting bolts. Replace
the bolts one at a time with guide
pins, which can be simply made by
cutting the head from a 3" x
5/
16"
UNC bolt and cutting a screwdriver
slot in the plain end. The clutch
assembly may now be handled with
ease.
2. Remove the pressure plate.
3. Remove the rear clutch disc.
4. Remove the centre drive plate.
NOTE: When placing the centre
drive plate on a bench or flat surface
it should be supported to avoid
damagmg the centralising springs.
5.
Remove the front clutch disc
and remove the cylindrical adaptors
from the flywheel.
The guide pins may be left in
place to assist in re-assembly.
