56. Inspect the lining of all drive plates.
If the lining is flaking or has changed color, or if it is worn or the print mark is wearing away,
replace with a new drive plate. When replacing, inspect the contact surfaces between the retaining
plate, driven plate and drive plate. If they are scratched or have changed color, replace with new
parts.
NOTE:
Before replacing with new drive plates, soak them at least 2 h in
ATF.
