- Inspect clutch disc lining for excessive wear and burned or oil-soaked condition. Measure disc thickness and rivet depth. Inspect clutch disc for loose torsion dampers. Measure clutch disc and flywheel runout. Replace clutch disc if it is not within specifications. See CLUTCH SPECIFICATIONS .
- Inspect flywheel ring gear teeth for wear and damage. Inspect flywheel for wear, cracks and burned condition. When measuring flywheel runout, push against flywheel to take up crankshaft thrust washer clearance.
