- Inspect the clutch cylinder thrust surfaces, piston bore and clutch plate serrations for scores or burrs. Minor scores or burrs may be removed with crocus cloth. Install a new clutch cylinder if it is badly scored or damaged.
- Check the fluid passage in the clutch cylinder for obstructions. Clean out all the fluid passages. Inspect the clutch piston for scores and install a new piston if necessary. Inspect check balls for freedom of movement and correct seating.
- Check the clutch release spring for distortion and cracks. Install a new spring (including wave spring) if distorted or cracked.
- Inspect the composition clutch plates, steel clutch plates and clutch pressure plate for worn or scored bearing surfaces. Install new parts if they are deeply scored or burred.
- Check the clutch plates for flatness and fit on clutch hub serrations. Discard any plate that does not slide freely on serrations or that is not flat.
- Check the clutch hub thrust surfaces for scores and clutch hub splines for wear.
NOTE:
