CAUTION
Never shim a drive clutch spring to increase its
compression rate. This may result in complete stacking
of the coils and subsequent clutch cover failure.
The drive clutch spring is one of the most critical
components of the PVT system. It is also one of the
easiest to service. Due to the severe relaxation the
spring is subject to during operation, it should always
be inspected for tolerance limits during any clutch
operation diagnosis or repair.
Check to see that spring coils are parallel to one
another using a straight-edge. Distortion of the
spring indicates stress fatigue, requiring
replacement.
NEEDLE BEARING INSPECTION
1. Rotate the clutch bearing in both clockwise and
counter-clockwise directions. The non-braking
needle bearing should rotate in both directions on
the shaft with only a slight amount of drag.
2. Verify there is no binding or rough spots. If problems
are noted continue with disassembly.
