e. Inspect the pressure plates for warping or heat
cracks. To check the pressure plates, place a
straight edge across the pressure plate and if a
0.15mm feeler cab be inserted anywhere between
the plate and the straight edge the plate must
be replaced.
f. Check the clutch release bearing, sleeve and carrier
for wear.
g. Inspect the clutch shafts for wear, try the hubs
of the driven members on the shafts and check
that, both slide freely but without excessive play.
Excessive wear of the clutch shaft splines is an
indication of possible clutch misalignment.
The clutch shaft should be a snug fit in the clutch
shaft pilot bearing. If the bearing is worn, remove
it with an extractor and install a new bearing.
h. Inspect the flywheel for signs of scoring. Place a
straight edge across the machined face of a
flywheel and if a 0.15 mm feeler cab be inserted
anywhere between the flywheel face and straight
edge in any of the checking positions repairs or
replacement is necessary.
i. Machining can be made without disassembling
the clutch cover. Care to be taken to prevent the
burrs entering into the assembly.
Remove 1.0 mm material from pressure plate face
and it can be removed in the three phase two
rough cut and one final finishing cut and then
verify below 4 check points. If all the check points
are OK, then use the cover assy. as it is.
NOTE:
1. Too much pedal travel excessively loads the
release bearing against thrust spring and
reduced travel can result into slippage of
clutch plate.
2. Due to wear of lining, pedal play can reduce
over a period of time because of lifting up
release plate. Re adjustment should be done
to avoid excessive wear of release bearing
