Clutch Disassembly

Refer to Figure 5-4 on page 26:

Disassembly of the clutch is simply a matter of removing the spring retainer nuts (#1), springs (#2) and bolts (#3) from the assembly. Each friction disc (#4) must then be separated from the metal surface adjacent to it.

Clutch Inspection

Inspect all parts for excessive wear and condition. Clean all parts that do not require replacement.The original friction disc thickness is 1/8" (3.2 mm) and should be replaced if thickness falls below 3/64" (1.1 mm). If clutches have been slipped to the point of “smoking”, the friction discs may be damaged and should be replaced. Heat build-up may also affect yoke joints.

Clutch Assembly

Refer to Figure 5-4:

Reassemble each friction disc (#4) next to the metal plate it was separated from. Install bolts (#3) through the end plates and intermediate plates as shown. Place springs (#2) over the bolts and secure with nuts (#1).
