  1. Check the plated parts of the pressure plate for color changes, peeling or other damage. If there is damage, replace the clutch set.
  2. Check the pulley bearing play and drag by rotating the pulley by hand. Replace the clutch set with a new one if it is noisy or has excessive play/drag.

  3. Measure the clearance between the pulley (A) and the pressure plate (B) all the way around. If the clearance is not within specified limits, remove the pressure plate (see DISASSEMBLY ) and add or remove shims as needed to increase or decrease clearance.

    Clearance: 0.5 +/- 0.15 mm (0.020 +/- 0.006 in.)

    NOTE: The shims are available in seven thicknesses: 0.7 mm, 0.8 mm, 0.9 mm, 1.0 mm, 1.1 mm, 1.2 mm and 1.3 mm.
