Clutch Components

1. Inspect for oil leakage through engine rear main bearing oil seal and transmission input shaft. If leakage is noted, it should be corrected at this time.
2. Inspect the friction faces of the flywheel and clutch cover (pressure plate) for:
^ Excessive discoloration
^ Burned areas
^ Small cracks
^ Deep grooves
^ Ridges
3. Replace parts as required.
4. Clean the flywheel face with crocus cloth or fine sandpaper (400-600 grade), then wipe the surface with mineral spirits. If the surface is severely scored, heat checked, or warped, replace the flywheel.
