- 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 badly scored or damaged.
- Check the fluid passage in the clutch cylinder for obstructions. Clean out all fluid passages. Inspect clutch piston for scores and install new if necessary. Inspect the check balls for freedom of movement and correct seating.

- 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 hub thrust surfaces for scores and clutch hub splines for wear.
NOTE:
One tab that locks the reverse clutch drum into the reverse sun shell may be removed. This is done for balancing purposes.
