Tools Required

J 5824-A Clutch Alignment Tool

1. Remove the transmission. Refer to Transmission Replacement .
2. Remove the quick disconnect from the concentric slave cylinder. Refer to Master Cylinder Replacement .
3. Install J 5824-A or use a clutch drive gear to support the clutch.



4. Mark the flywheel (5) and a clutch pressure plate lug for the installation alignment.
5. Remove the bolts (3) and the washers (2). Secure the clutch pressure plate (4) and the clutch driven plate (1) to the flywheel (5).
6. Remove the clutch alignment tool.
7. Clean all of the parts with a water dampened cloth.
8. Inspect all of the parts for wear and damage.
9. Use a straight edge to inspect the contact surfaces for scoring and flatness.
10. Inspect the friction pads for scoring, gouges, and loose rivets.
11. Inspect the friction pads for oil. Replace the clutch driven plate if the friction pads are soaked with oil.
12. Inspect all of the splines for nicks, burrs, and sliding fit.
13. Inspect all of the springs for bending and breaks.
14. Inspect the boot for tears and brittleness.

2. Install the J 5824-A or a used clutch drive gear to support the clutch.

Notice: Use the correct fastener in the correct location. Replacement fasteners must be the correct part number for that application. Fasteners requiring replacement or fasteners requiring the use of thread locking compound or sealant are identified in the service procedure. Do not use paints, lubricants, or corrosion inhibitors on fasteners or fastener joint surfaces unless specified. These coatings affect fastener torque and joint clamping force and may damage the fastener. Use the correct tightening sequence and specifications when installing fasteners in order to avoid damage to parts and systems.

3. Align the marks made during removal or, if new align the lightest part of the clutch pressure plate, identified by a yellow dot, to the heaviest part of the flywheel, identified by an "X".

Tighten
Tighten the clutch pressure plate to the flywheel bolts to 41 N·m (30 lb ft).

4. Remove the clutch alignment tool.
5. Install the quick disconnect to the concentric slave cylinder.
6. Install the transmission. Refer to Transmission Replacement .
