5. Fit the clutch centre and pressure plate assembly, aligning the friction plate tabs with
the clutch drum slots, noting that the outermost friction plate engages in its own

Make sure that the clutch spring plates and springs are all installed correctly under the
release plate. Failure to do so will adversely affect the operation of the clutch.
When tightening the three release plate fixings, care must be taken to tighten the
fixings evenly and progressively. This is to make sure that the chamfer edge on the
underside of the release plate is correctly seated into the machined face on the inside
edge of the pressure plate fixing towers.
Failure to make sure that the release plate is correctly seated will cause the clutch
friction plates to release and re-engage at an angle, resulting in severe clutch judder.
