10. If the clutch end-plate is worn, damaged, or discolored, inspect the clutch end-plate-to-top-disc clearance, then replace the clutch end-plate.

Clutch Waved-plate Phase Difference Inspection





1. Place the clutch waved-plate (A) on a surface plate, and set a dial indicator (B) on the waved-plate.
2. Find the bottom (D) of a phase difference of the waved-plate, zero the dial indicator and make a reference mark on the bottom of the waved-plate.
3. Rotate the waved-plate about 60-degrees apart from the bottom while holding the waved-plate by its circumference. The dial indicator should be at the top (E) of a phase difference. Do not rotate the waved-plate while holding its surface, always rotate it with holding its circumference.
4. Read the dial indicator. The dial indicator reads the phase difference (C) of the waved-plate between bottom and top.
Standard Phase Difference
2nd clutch: 0.10 - 0.20 mm
4th clutch: 0.07 - 0.20 mm
5th clutch: 0.07 - 0.20 mm

5. Rotate the waved-plate about 60-degrees. The dial indicator should be at the bottom of a phase difference (F and H), and zero the dial indicator.
6. Measure the phase difference at the other two tops (G and I) of the waved-plate by following steps 3 thru 5.
7. If the two values of the three measurements are within the standard, the waved-plate is OK. If the two values of the three measurements are out of the standard, replace the waved-plate.
