Pressure Plate

Take out the transmission. Take off the quick disconnect that connects the concentric slave cylinder. The system needs a clutch drive gear or a (J5824-01) to effectively support the clutch. Be sure to mark not only the Flywheel (5) but also a clutch Pressure Plate lug so you know where to place them for mounting. Take out the bolts (3) and the washers (2) that attach both the clutch Pressure Plate (4) and the clutch driven plate (1) to the Flywheel (5). Lift out the clutch alignment tool from the clutch collar. Clean each part with a water dampened cloth and make sure there are no signs of damage. With a straight edge, examine the surfaces where the clutch connects and check the friction pads for marks, holes, lots of oil and missing or broken rivets; if there is a lot of oil on the friction pads, replace the clutch driven plate. Look for any damaged splines and check that fit splines slide freely and look over all the springs and the boot for bends, cracks and rips. Insert the bolts and the washers and attach the Pressure Plate and clutch plate to the end of the Flywheel. You should install (J5824-01) or a used clutch drive gear for clutch support. Locate the yellow dot on the clutch Pressure Plate and put it in line with the "x" that appears on the heaviest part of the Flywheel. Tighten the clutch Pressure Plate bolts to 41 nm (30 ft. Lbs.). Take out the alignment tool. Attach the quick disconnect to the end of the concentric slave cylinder. Put the transmission in place.

Service and repair of the Pressure Plate requires starting with transmission removal. The first step involves disconnecting the quick disconnect from the actuator cylinder. The service technician must either install the clutch alignment tool (J 5824-01) or support the clutch with a clutch drive gear. Mark the Flywheel along with a clutch Pressure Plate lug before their installation alignment. You should take the bolts and washers that attach the clutch Pressure Plate and clutch driven plate to Flywheel . Afterward, extract the clutch alignment tool. The installation requires attaching the clutch Pressure Plate and the clutch driven plate to the Flywheel through the use of bolts that include washers . Support the clutch using either a clamp tool known as clutch alignment tool (J 5824-01) or a clutch drive gear. Secure the clutch Pressure Plate to the Flywheel bolts by applying torque to 41 nm (30 ft. Lbs.). Then remove the clutch alignment tool. The transmission should be installed followed by connecting the quick disconnect to the concentric slave cylinder.
