2. Inspect the lining of all drive plates. (C4)
If the lining is flaking or has changed color, or if it is worn or the print mark is wearing away,
replace it 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.
3. Using vernier calipers, measure the free length of the piston return spring.
