is deeply scored or grooved, the part should be

replaced.

b. Inspect driven plate for wear or damage to fac­
ings,
loose
rivets, broken or
loose
torsion springs,

and
flattened cushion springs. If facings are worn
near
rivets or are oily, replace the plate assembly.

A
slight amount of oil on clutch facings
will
cause

clutch
grab and chatter; excessive oil on facings

will
cause slippage. It is not practical to remove
oil
with solvents or by buffing since oil
will
con­
tinue to bleed from facing material when hot. If
oil
is found on driven plate facings, examine trans­
mission drainback hole, pilot bushing,
engine
rear

main
bearing and other points of possible oil leakage. Test the fit of driven plate hub on trans­
mission main drive gear for an easy sliding fit.
c. Inspect clutch release bearing for scoring or ex­ cessive wear on front contact face. Test for rough­

ness
of balls and races by pressing and turning
front race slowly. Inspect main drive gear pilot
bushing in crankshaft. Replace bushing if it is rough or worn. Regardless of whether the old plate

or
a new plate is to be installed, check the plate
for runout. Slide the driven plate, front side first,
over the transmission main drive gear shaft so that

it
is tight on the spline. Index a
dial
indicator to the plate facing as shown in
Fig.
1-9. While holding

firmly
against front end of main drive gear, to take up play in main drive gear bearing, slowly
rotate driven plate and observe the amount of
run­

out shown by indicator. If runout of front facing
exceeds
.025" [0,635 mm.], replace the plate. It
is not practical to correct excessive runout by bending. 12769

—
BORG

BECK
V6
(Late
Models)

The
Borg & Beck clutch is a single plate, dry disk
type. It provides smooth
engagement
of
engine
power to the wheels. The clutch consists of a pres­

sure
plate assembly with pressure springs and
release levers, and driven plate assembly. The
driven
plate assembly
uses
spring center vibration
neutralizes and two flexible facings.

The
clutch driven plate is spring cushioned with a facing riveted to both sides. The coil springs around
the hub absorb the power shocks and cushion the

driving
mechanism. The clutch throw-out bearing is of the
ball
type, packed at time of manufacture,

and
requires no further lubrication.
No adjustment for wear is provided in the clutch itself. An individual adjustment is built into the
clutch
cover to adjust the height of the release
levers.
This
adjusting nut is locked in position

and
should never be disturbed unless the clutch assembly has been disassembled for the replace­
ment of worn parts or to correct the height of the release levers.

When
the clutch pedal is depressed (disengaged),
the release bearing is moved toward the flywheel
and
contacts the inner ends of the release levers.

Each
lever is pivoted on a floating pin which re­
mains stationary in the lever and rolls across a short flat portion of the enlarged
hole
in the eye-
bolt. The outer ends of the
eyebolts
extend
through
holes
in the stamped cover and are fitted

with
adjusting nuts to secure the levers in the
correct
position. The outer ends of the release levers

engage
the pressure plate lugs by means of ful-
crums,
which provide knife-edge contact
between

the outer ends of the levers and the lugs as shown
in
Fig.

Inspect
Pressure Plate and Disc
Inspect the pressure plate to make sure that it is not cracked or scored.
Check
on a surface plate
for a warped condition, as a pressure plate out of alignment
will
result in clutch chatter.
Machin­

ing or grinding the face of a warped pressure
plate is not recommended. If a warped condition
exists, replace the pressure plate. A new plate
should be installed if the plate or cushion springs appear to be defective. The cushion springs must
not be bent out of shape or flattened.

The
clutch discs for the nine or twelve spring clutches are designed for operation with their
respective clutches. Difference in general appear­ ance of the discs may be noted in the method of
housing the six torque dampening springs and in the
hub design.

After
removal of the clutch assembly, the disc should be inspected. The presence of grease or oil
on the friction facing can cause the clutch to chatter

and
grab during
engagement
and slip at higher speeds. If this condition is evident, the facings or
disc should be replaced and the cause of oil ac­
cumulation corrected. Excessively worn facings
should be replaced. The clutch disc must be in­ stalled with the long end of the hub toward the

transmission.

Inspect Transmission Clutch
Shaft

Slide
the clutch driven plate
onto
the transmission

clutch
shaft to make sure that it is free on the
splines. If the splines on the transmission clutch
shaft are
burred,
remove the
burrs
with a fine file or
stone.
If the movement of the clutch driven
plate is not free on the splines, the result
will
be
clutch
drag and
hard
shifting of transmission gears.

a.
The interlock
sleeve
and poppet assembly should be carefully checked. Should the assembly
be too long, it
will
be impossible to shift gears and

if
it is too short, it
will
fail
to function as an inter­

lock
to prevent shifting into two gears at one time.

Locate
the intermediate-and-high control arm for
second gear position. Use a feeler
gauge
to measure
the clearance between the ends of the interlock

sleeve
and the notched surface of each shift lever
as shown in Fig.
J-l

Clearance
must be from .001" to .007" [0,025 a
0,178 mm.] on each side of the interlock sleeve.

To
obtain correct clearance, interlock
sleeves
are

available
for selective fit.

The
different lengths can be identified by a letter at the end.

•
Refer to Fig. J-5, J-7
Assemble the unit in the reverse order of disas­
sembly, noting the following points:

a.
Oil circulation is provided
between
the trans­ mission and transfer case by the addition of drilled
passages
between
the two units. The
rear
face of
the transmission case is drilled with two %" 11,11 mm],
holes
and two [6,35 mm.] holes.

The
front face of the transfer case is drilled with
two %"
[11,11
mm.]
holes
to register with
those

drilled
in the transmission case. When making re­
placement of either unit or case, it is important that
mating parts be installed, that is, if a transmission
case is drilled use a drilled transfer case. It is im­
portant that the correct gasket, having
openings
for
oil
passage, be used with the drilled cases.

b.
Position the reverse idler gear in the case and

install
the shaft using care that the slot at the shaft end is correctly aligned to receive the lock plate.
c. Assemble the spacer, six washers, and four countershaft
needle
bearings in the countershaft
gear hub, using special tool W-166 with loading

sleeve,
as shown in Fig. J-9 and J-10. Place the

spacer
inside the hub and insert the special tool in
the spacer. Place a washer at each end of the spacer

and
load a set of bearing rollers at each end.
Then

add
a washer, a set of bearing rollers, and finally
another washer at each end to complete the as­ sembly. Place the countershaft gear assembly in
the case but do not install the countershaft until
the mainshaft and main drive gear are installed.

d.
When assembling the mainshaft gears, the low

and
reverse sliding gear is installed with the shift
shoe
groove
toward the front of the transmission.
e. The sequence of assembly of the synchronizer

unit
is shown in Fig. J-4.
First
install the two springs in the high and intermediate clutch hub

with
the spring tension opposed. Place the right lipped end of one spring in a slot of the hub and
place the spring in the hub.
Turn
the hub around
and
make exactly the same installation with the other spring, starting with the same slot. In­

stall
the three synchronizer shifting plates in the
three
slots
in the hub with the smooth side of the
plates out. Hold the plates in position and slip the second and direct speed clutch
sleeve
over the hub

with
the long beveled
edge
toward the long part
of the clutch hub.
Install
the two blocking rings
one on each side of the hub.
Install
the completed
assembly on the mainshaft with the beveled
edge

of the clutch
sleeve
toward the front end of the
shaft.

f.
Install
main drive gear bearing
onto
the main
drive
gear shaft, using tool
KF-128A.

g.
When installing the mainshaft, use care that the
needle
bearing rollers in the main drive gear
are
correctly positioned. Use heavy grease to hold
them in position for assembly.

h.
The countershaft gear set, when assembled in
the case, should have .012" to .018" [0,305 a
0,457
mm.] end play.
This
clearance is obtained by selective thickness of the
rear
steel thrust washer

which
is available in .0555" and .0625"
[1,410
a 1,587 mm.] thickness.

After
installation of the front and
rear
bearing

retainers
on the mainshaft,
turn
the transmission over to allow the gears to mesh and also to permit alignment and installation of the countershaft.

i.
To install the countershaft gear set in the
case, first install the large bronze thrust washer
at the front of the case with the lip of the washer
entered in the slot of the case. Use heavy grease to hold this washer in position. Next, install the steel thrust washer at the
rear
of the case.
Start

the countershaft into the case just enough to hold
this washer in place. Align the slot in the counter­ shaft with the slot in the reverse idler gear shaft
to permit installation of the lock plate. Be sure the

thrust
washers are correctly positioned.
Then

position the bronze-faced washer against the
rear
end of the gear and place the gear in its running
position.
Tap
the countershaft through the counter­shaft gear set and the case, forcing out the special
tool W-166.

j.
Attach the transfer case to the transmission 247

THREE-SPEED
TRANSMISSION
before
the unit is installed in the vehicle. When
doing this, use care that the countershaft and

reverse
idler shaft lock plate shown in Fig. J-8
is correctly positioned in the recess in the transfer case housing.
Three

long [2,86 cm.] screws and
two 1" long [2,54 cm.] screws are used to attach the

transfer
case housing to the transmission housing.
Install
the 1" long [2,54 cm.] screws in the lower

left
and lower right mounting holes.
