Thoroughly clean main shaft splines with wire brush.
Use just enough Moly lubricating paste/spray, part number G 000 100, on the main shaft splines to allow the clutch disc to slide freely.
Slide the clutch disc back and forth a few times on the main shaft and then wipe off any excess lubricant.
CAUTION
If too much is applied, excess lubricant will end up on the clutch disc face causing the disc to stick to either the pressure plate or the flywheel. This will
cause difficult shifting and/or grinding into gear
Only install clutch discs with nickel-plated hubs.
