GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The coil spring single plate clutch is a dry disc type
and no adjustment for wear is provided in the clutch
itself. An individual adjustment is provided for locating
each lever in manufacturing but the adjusting nut is
locked in place and should never be disturbed, unless the
clutch is dismantled for replacement of parts.
When the clutch pedal is depressed the release bearing
is removed toward the flywheel and contacts the inner
ends of the release levers, (1) (fig. 9). Each release
lever is pivoted on a floating pin which remains station
ary in the lever and rolls across a short flat portion of
the enlarged hole in the eyebolt (2). The outer end of each
release lever engages the pressure plate lug by means of
a strut (3), which provides knife-edge contact between the
outer end of the lever and the lug. The outer ends of the
eyebolts extend through holes in the stamped cover (4),
and are fitted with adjusting nuts (5) to correctly position
the levers.

SERVICE OPERATIONS
CLUTCH ASSEMBLY
Removal From Vehicle
Before removing clutch from flywheel, mark with a
punch the flywheel, clutch cover and one pressure plate
lug, so that these parts may be assembled in their same
relative positions, as they were balanced as an assembly.
Loosen the holding screws a turn or two at a time to
avoid bending rim of cover. When removing driven plate
be sure to mark flywheel side.
NOTE:
It is advantageous to place wood or
metal spacers (approximately 3/8 thick) between
the clutch levers and the cover to hold the levers
down as the holding screws are removed or when
clutch is removed from engine.
Installation To Vehicle
1. Assemble driven plate and clutch cover assembly to
flywheel in accordance with marking on driven plate
for flywheel side.
2. Line up the driven plate assembly and pilot bear
ing with a dummy shaft (used clutch drive gear)
before tightening cover holding screws. Tighten
holding screws before removing dummy shaft.
3. After transmission has been assembled, adjust pedal
as described under “ Clutch Pedal Adjustments” .
