Clutch Cover, Clutch Disc and Flywheel Inspection
Input Shaft Bearing
Check bearing for smooth rotation and replace it if abnormality is found.

Clutch Disc





Measure depth of rivet head depression, i.e. distance between rivet head and facing surface.
If depression is found to have reached service limit at any of rivet holes (2), replace clutch disc assembly (1).

Limit: 0.5 mm (0.02 inch)

Clutch Cover
1. Check diaphragm spring for abnormal wear or damage.
2. Inspect pressure plate for wear or heat spots.
3. If abnormality is found, replace it as assembly.
Do not disassemble it into diaphragm and pressure plate.

Flywheel
Check surface contacting clutch disc for abnormal wear or heat spots. Replace or repair as required.
