ECA Clutch
Lubrication
Lubricate
1.
Open the inspection cover and verify the cross-shaft
and release bearing lube tubes are properly
attached and functional.
Note: Failed lube lines will prevent grease from reaching the
release bearing causing premature clutch release bear-
ing failure.
2.
Apply grease through the release bearing lube tube
and continue to apply lube to cause enough grease
to purge out of the release bearing housing and
onto the transmission input shaft.
Note: Do not be concerned if excess grease gets onto the
LCIB friction surface, it will not affect the brake
’
s stop-
ping ability.
3.
Apply grease to the cross-shaft bushing lube tube
so that a visual purge can be observed at the cross-
shaft bushing weep hole.
4.
Reset the grease interval count if the optional auto-
mated lube schedule has been activated.
Note: See the “Grease Interval Count Reset” section.
