How to Properly Install Clutch Friction Plates?
1 Answers
Here is the correct method for installing clutch friction plates: 1. Make alignment marks on the clutch cover assembly and flywheel assembly. Loosen the mounting bolts one turn at a time until the spring tension is completely released. 2. Remove the mounting bolts and pull off the clutch cover and clutch friction plate assembly along with the release bearing and release fork. Remove the release fork and release bearing assembly from the transmission input shaft, then lubricate the pilot bearing on the flywheel. 3. Apply lubricating oil inside the flywheel pilot bearing, then install the release bearing and release fork assembly along with the clutch friction plate assembly. Additional information: The automotive clutch is located inside the flywheel housing between the engine and transmission. The clutch assembly is secured to the rear plane of the flywheel with screws, and the output shaft of the clutch serves as the input shaft of the transmission.
