MAINTENANCE TIPS

IT IS IMPORTANT TO NOTE THESE ARE GENERAL GUIDELINES ONLY AND THE INSTALLER SHOULD
ALWAYS REFER TO THE VEHICLE MAINTENANCE MANUAL FOR SPECIFIC DETAILS.
1. Only high temperature grease should be used for clutch bearing housing and linkage
lubrication. Do not use chassis lubricant for clutch lubrication. Refer to the vehicle
maintenance manual for lubricant specifications.
2. Lubricate the clutch release bearing each time the chassis is lubricated.
3. When lubricating the clutch, apply lubricant to each fitting on the clutch housing.
4. Every point in the clutch linkage must be lubricated in addition to the
clutch housing.
5. Exercise caution in lubricating the bearing, as any excess lubricant will find its way onto
the clutch facing.
6. Adjust the clutch before the pedal clearance has disappeared. Failure to do so will result
in slippage and adjustment afterwards may not be effective.
7. If the clutch is hydraulically assisted, make sure the slave and master cylinders are
functioning properly.
A minimum of 5/16" distance is required from the
friction surface (face) of the flywheel to the top of the bolthead
that holds the flywheel to the crankshaft.
If it is less than 5/16", a NEW flywheel is needed!
