Direct Clutch: Inspection

  1. Clean all components (except discs) with solvent. Dry with compressed air. Inspect plates and discs for flaking or burnt areas, replace 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.
  3. Using calipers, measure free length of piston return springs. Standard return spring free length is .596" (15.13 mm). Replace return springs that do not measure as specified.
