Vehicles with manual transmissions use a single dry plate, diphragm
spring type clutch. The clutch disc has a splined hub
which allows it to slide along the splines of the transmission input
shaft. The clutch and pressure plate are held in contact
by spring pressure exherted by the diaphragm in the pressure plate.
CHEKING FOR WEAR
Replace the pressure plate if excessive wear is noted.
If the lining of the clutch disc is less that 1/16th of an inch above
the rivet heads, replace the clutch disc. Also, check for loose
rivets, cracks, or btokrn springs and other damage. The clutch
disc is a routine replacement part, and lasts depending upon terran, how
the user drives, and defects (if they exist). If you are in doubt
about the condition of the clutch disc, have it replaced. Make sure
you check both sides of the clutch disc. Damage to the flywheel can
occur also if one side of the clutch disc wears faster than the other.
