Clutch
Spring Plate Gap Adjustment
If the plate gap is out of the usable range, change one of
the steel plates [A] to a thicker or thinner one to get the
correct gap.
Use the standard steel plates (2.0 mm (0.079 in.) thick) ×
(6 7) plates, and the adjustment steel plate (1.6 or 2.3
mm (0.063 or 0.091 in.) thick) × (0 1) plates: total 7
plates.

CAUTION
If new friction or steel plates are installed, apply en-
gine oil to the surfaces of each plate to avoid clutch
plate seizure.
Friction and Steel Plate Wear, and Damage Inspection
Visually inspect the friction and steel plates for signs of
seizure, overheating (discoloration), or uneven wear.
If any plates show signs of damage, replace the plates.
Measure the thickness of t he friction plates [A] at several
points.
If they have worn past the service l imit, replace the friction
plate and measure the spring plate gap and adjust i t if
necessary.
Friction Plate Thickness
Standard: 3.3 3.5 mm (0.130 ~ 0.138 in.)
Service Limit: 3.1 mm (0.122 in.)
Friction or Steel Plate Warp
Place each friction plate or steel plate on a surface plate,
and measure the gap between the surface plate [A] and
each friction plate or steel plate [B] with a thickness gauge
[C]. The gap is the amount of friction or steel plate warp.
If any friction plate is warped over the service limit, re-
place it and measure the spring plate gap, and adjust it if
necessary.
If any steel plate is warped over the service limit, replace
it with a new one of the same t hickness.
Friction or Steel Plate Warp
Standard: 0.2 mm (0.0079 in.) or less
Service Limit: 0.3 mm (0.012 in.)
