Clutch – Assembly
The outermost and two innermost friction plates differ from the seven centre friction
plates. Identification is as follows:
• The outermost and two innermost friction plates have a larger internal diameter
to accommodate the anti-judder spring and pressure plate splines respectively.
• The outermost and two innermost friction plates also have more friction pads (60
pads) than the other plates (50 pads).
• The outermost and two innermost friction plates can also be identified by pink
paint markings on the outer tabs.
The innermost steel plate differs from the other eight steel plates and can be identified
by a larger internal diameter.
Do not use brake cleaner or any other similar cleaning fluids to clean the clutch plates.
The use of brake cleaner or other similar cleaning fluids may adversely affect the
operation of the clutch.
1. Remove any contamination or debris from the clutch plates using a soft dry cloth.
2. Coat all friction and steel plates in clean engine oil.
Make sure the clutch plates are all installed in the correct locations. Failure to do so
will adversely affect the operation of the clutch.
During installation, make sure that the anti-judder spring is installed with its smaller
(internal) diameter facing outwards towards the clutch centre.
Also make sure that the steel plates are installed so that the face with the curved
edges is facing outwards towards the clutch centre.
