Clutch Disc: Testing and Inspection

- Inspect splines. The clutch plate must move easily on the transmission shaft without any radial play.
- Check rivets, spring plates and torsion elements for secureness, cracks or signs of damage. In case of doubt, replace clutch plate.
- Inspect clutch lining. If the lining is oily, burnt, cracked or unevenly worn, install a new clutch plate.





- Check thickness of clutch plate lining.
Size new (compressed) 9.3 ± 0.3 mm
Size worn (compressed) 7.5 mm with symmetrical wear.

NOTE: Clutch linings cannot be replaced.

- Check clutch plate for lateral run-out at lining. Permissible lateral run-out max. 0.6 mm, measured approx. 2-3 mm from circumference.
