CLUTCH
REPAIR
The clutch consists of two assemblies: (Fig. 24):
A. The upper housing containing the upper power
shaft, ball bearing, oil shield, clutch spacer,
clutch assembly and
B.
The lower bearing housing and clutch drum
which is threaded to the lower housing shaft.
NOTE: The oil shield was not used
in
early
production of the TC-400 clutch assembly. Also,
the upper power shaft
with
the snap ring was
changed to a machined shaft
with
a shoulder.
The two shafts are interchangeable. The oil
shield may be added to existing clutch assem-
blies using the upper shaft
with
the machined
ring.
