| Clean the gear teeth of the input shaft and the gear teeth of the hub of used clutch disks, remove any corrosion and only apply a very thin layer of the grease for the clutch-disk spline (Allocation: → Spare Spare parts catalogue). Then move the clutch plate on the input shaft from side to side, until the hub moves smoothly on the shaft. It is essential to remove excess grease. |
