Clutch Disc: Testing and Inspection
CLUTCH DISC INSPECTION
Note:
^
Install a new clutch disc if any of these conditions are present. Always install a new clutch pressure plate when installing a new clutch.
Note:
^
For clutch discs that have oil or grease contamination, eliminate the source of the contamination.
Note:
^
If the clutch disc springs are loose enough to rattle they will not cause noise when the vehicle is operating.
1. Inspect the clutch for the following:
^
Oil or grease contamination
^
Worn or loose facings
^
Distortion
^
Broken springs
^
Burrs or uneven wear on the splines
^
Wear or damage on the clutch disc surface
2. Check for a worn clutch disc lining. Measure the minimum allowable depth to the rivet heads with a slide caliper.
^
Check for loose clutch disc lining rivets.
3. Use a dial indicator to check the maximum allowable runout of the clutch disc.
^
Install a new clutch disc if the runout is excessive.
4. Use an emery cloth to remove minor imperfections in the clutch disc lining surface.
