Clean and inspect the low OWC for cracks and damaged splines. The internal splined section should rotate clockwise and lock when rotated counterclockwise. If any damage is found or the clutch does not rotate or lock, install a new low OWC.
Inspect the intermediate (2, 6) clutch surface for damage. If the surface is burned or worn excessively, install a new OWC.
