Pressure Plate Check

PRESSURE PLATE CHECK

1. Check the clutch pressure plate surface for scoring, cracks or discoloration. Minor scratches or discoloration should be removed with a fine emery cloth.





2. Measure the flatness of the clutch pressure plate surface with a straightedge and a feeler gauge.
^ If the measurement exceeds the maximum allowance, install a new clutch pressure plate.
3. Cheek the diaphragm spring fingers for discoloration, scoring, bent or broken segments and spring ends that are higher or lower than the rest.





4. Measure the wear of the diaphragm spring fingers.
