Forward Clutch: Inspection

  1. Clean all components (except discs) with solvent. Dry with compressed air. Inspect plates and discs for flaking or burnt areas. If disc lining is peeling or discolored, replace discs as necessary.
  2. Ensure check ball is free in clutch piston. Apply air pressure to check ball area. Ensure check ball does not allow air to bleed through piston. Inspect piston return springs for wear, damage and collapsed coils. Replace worn or damaged components.
CAUTION: Clutch discs should be soaked in ATF for 15 minutes prior to installation. Lubricate all parts with ATF. Coat thrust bearings and races with petroleum jelly.
