Installation Procedure

Warning

Use care when cleaning the clutch hub. The clutch hub may have sharp edges and can cause personal injury if contact is made. Wear protective gloves to avoid personal injury.

1. Clean the clutch hub and the input shaft from any debris and contaminates with a lint-free towel.





Caution:
Applying too much or the wrong type of grease on the transmission input shaft may cause damage, clutch slippage or failure. Always apply the correct type of grease. Never apply more grease than is necessary to coat the transmission input shaft with a very thin film of grease.

2. Use a clean flat brush (1) to apply very light coating of multi-purpose grease to input shaft until the metal is only shiny. No visible clumps of grease are permissible regardless of size. Smear away from the transmission in direction of the shown arrow.





Caution:
Ensure that no grease remains on the lead surface of the transmission input shaft. Clean the lead surface of the transmission input shaft prior to the assembly of the transmission to the engine. Failure to maintain a clean surface may cause clutch slippage or failure.

3. Clean the entire lead surface of the input shaft with a NEW, lint-free towel (1).

4. Install the transmission to the vehicle.
