CLUTCH 1-1.
GENERAL

The
clutch on current 'Jeep' vehicles is either

Auburn
or Borg and Beck manufactured. Vehicles
equipped with F4-134
engines
have an
Auburn
9.25" [23,4 cm.] single plate dry-disc clutch. The
pressure plate has three coil pressure springs and
three levers or fingers.

The
V6-225
engine
is equipped with a 10.4" [26,4
cm.] Borg and Beck single plate dry-disc clutch.

The
pressure plate utilizes either a finger-type
diaphragm spring, or a coil
type
spring pressure plate for clutch release.

The
driven plates of all
models
are built with
vibra­

tion damper springs and have two flexible facings

which
provide
smooth
engagement
of the
engine
power.
Early
'Jeep' vehicles equipped with a Dauntless
V-6
engine
use a 10.4" [26,4 cm.] single plate, dry-
disc clutch, incorporating a diaphram-type spring assembly.

The
clutch is of the centrifugal single dry disc
type
and
consists of the clutch disc, pressure plate and
the clutch release bearing.

The
clutch is actuated by a clutch pedal and a
series of mechanical linkage.

When
the clutch pedal is in the
engaged
position,
the clutch disc facings are clamped
between
the
friction surface of the
engine
flywheel and the face of the clutch pressure plate, thereby connect­
ing
engine
power to the transmission. Depressing
the clutch pedal actuates the clutch release shaft
fork
which
moves
the clutch release bearing against
the clutch fingers.
This,
in
turn,
moves
the pressure
plate away from the clutch disc. Since the disc is splined to the transmission input shaft, the clutch
disc and transmission input shaft
will
stop
when
the clutch is disengaged, thereby disconnecting
engine
power from the transmission.
1-2.
Clutch
Maintenance

To
obtain normal life and satisfactory performance
from any clutch it must be correctly operated and
properly maintained. Two conditions which shorten
clutch life are continuous operation of the clutch
release bearing and clutch slippage.
The
clutch release bearing is
designed
for inter­
mittent use. If run continuously the bearing
lubri­

cant
will
become
exhausted causing the bearing to
become
dry, noisy, or
will
seize, resulting in clutch
finger or diaphragm wear. The clutch must be properly adjusted so that the release bearing is
free of the clutch fingers or diaphragm at all times,

except
when the clutch pedal is depressed.

Excessive
clutch slippage
often
occurs when the
vehicle is overloaded, the vehicle load is applied
too quickly, or when the pressure of the clutch fingers or diaphragm is only partially applied to the clutch plate.
Friction
between
the clutch facing

and
flywheel produces
excessive
heat causing
burned,
glazed and worn linings, resulting in shortened clutch life. Avoid clutch slippage under
heavy loads by using a lower gear or reducing the load.
1-3.
Clutch
Pedal
Linkage
and Adjustment

Adjust
the clutch pedal free travel whenever the clutch
does
not
disengage
properly, or when new
clutch parts are installed. Improper adjustment of
the clutch pedal free travel is one of the
most
fre­
quent causes of clutch failure and can be a con­ tributing factor in
some
transmission failures.

As
the clutch facings wear the free travel of the clutch pedal diminishes. When sufficient wear oc­

curs
the pedal clearance must be adjusted.

Two
types
of clutch linkage have
been
used on Jeep vehicles, a cross shaft
tube
and lever
type

shown in Fig. 1-1, and a clutch control cable
type

shown in Fig. 1-2. The clutch pedal adjustment
procedures for both
type
linkages are as follows.
•
Cross
Shaft
Lever
and Tube Type

Refer
to Fig. 1-1.

Note:
Two different
Clutch
Control
Lever
and

Tube
Assemblies have
been
installed on 'Jeep*

Universal
vehicles equipped with a V-6
engine
and

T14A
transmission.
Should difficulty in shifting the transmission be
noted, check the length of the clutch release pedal
rod,
item (16) in Fig. 1-1. Measure the distance

between
the centerlines of the cotter key holes.

•
F4 and V-6 Engine.
Inspect the transmission main shaft pilot bushing

which
is pressed into the center of the flywheel on
the Hurricane F4
engine
and in the center of the
crankshaft
on the Dauntless V-6 engine. If the bushing is worn or damaged, it should be removed,
using a pilot bushing remover. Screw the tapered end of the tool into the damaged bushing, allowing
the tool to cut its own threads until a solid grip is obtained. Insert the puller screw and rotate it
until
bushing is forced out of flywheel, Fig. 1-6 or

crankshaft.

To
install a new bushing, slide the bushing
onto

the end of a pilot bushing installing and burnishing tool and insert the bushing into flywheel or
crank­
shaft. A
soft
hammer can be used against the tool
to help drive the bushing in place. When the tool
is removed (by tightening the cap and pressure
nut as shown in Fig. 1-7), the bushing
will
be
burnished
to correct size. Apply a small amount of

lubricant
to the bushing bore.

be replaced and the cause of oil accumulation cor­ rected. Excessively worn facings should also be
replaced with factory recommended parts.
b. Inspect
Clutch
Release Bearing and Sleeve

The
clutch release bearing and
sleeve
are attached to the front facing of the transmission case by a

spring.
Check
the bearing and
sleeve
for evidence
of grease leaks from within the bearing or for wear

and
looseness.
Replace parts as necessary. 228

Note:
The clutch release bearing is lubricated at
time of assembly and no attempt should be made
to lubricate it Refer to Fig. 1-23 when lubricating
the clutch throwout bearing collar. c. Reassembly

To
assemble the clutch to the flywheel, first put
a
small amount of light cup grease in the flywheel
pilot bushing, install the driven plate, with short
end of hub toward the flywheel, then place the pressure plate assembly in position.
With
a clutch
plate aligning arbor or a spare transmission main
shaft, align the driven plate splines leaving the
arbor
in position while tightening the pressure plate
screws evenly.
Next, assemble the flywheel housing to the
engine
and
reinstall the transmission and transfer case or
install
the
engine
in the vehicle, depending on the
procedure of removal. Make sure that the clutch
release bearing
carrier
return spring is hooked in place. For the remainder of the assembly reverse
the operations that were used in removing the
transmission and transfer case or the
engine
referring
to the instructions given in Section J for the transmission and Section D and Dl for the
engine.

d.
Adjust the clutch control cable so there is 3A" [19,05 mm.] free pedal travel. (Refer to Par. 1-3)

Diaphragm Spring Type
(Early
Models)

*
Jeep' vehicles equipped with a Dauntless V-6 en­
gine
use a 10.4" [26,4 cm.] single-plate, dry-disc

clutch,
incorporating a diaphragm-type spring as­
sembly.

When
the clutch pedal is depressed, it
moves
the
clutch
fork in the direction shown in Fig. 1-8. The

clutch
fork, pivoting on a
ball
stud, acts upon the
throwout bearing. The bearing then forces the
prongs of the diaphragm spring in the direction shown in
Fig.
1-8. The diaphragm spring is mounted
so that it pivots on its retaining rings.
This
reverses
the direction of force.
Force
is applied directly to
the three retracting springs which then
move
the
pressure plate
rearward,
away from the driven plate.

The
clutch driven plate assembly slides freely on
the transmission main drive gear splined shaft. It is keyed to the gear shaft by ten splines. The
front end of the main drive gear shaft is piloted by a bushing pressed into a recess in the
rear
end
of the
engine
crankshaft. See Fig. 1-8.

The
outer area of the driven plate is divided into

segments
formed in low waves to provide springs

between
the plate facings and cushion
engagement

of the clutch. A molded facing is riveted to each
side of every
segment.
When the clutch is fully
released, the waved
segments
cause the facings to

spread
approximately .045" [1,14 mm.]. Pressure
plate movement provides an additional clearance
of approximately .030" [0.76 mm.] to assure
full
release of the driven plate. See Fig. 1-8.

The
driven plate assembly is designed to prevent
torsional fluctuation of the
engine
from being
transmitted to the transmission gears. Its hub is

Clutch
Removal

a.
Remove transmission as described in Section J. b. Remove clutch throwout bearing and pedal re­

turn
spring from clutch fork.
c. Remove flvwheel housing from engine.
d.
Disconnect clutch fork from
ball
stud by forc­
ing it toward the center of the vehicle.
e.
Mark
clutch cover and flywheel with a center

punch
so that cover can later be installed in the same position on the flywheel.
This
is necessary to

maintain
engine
balance.
f. Loosen the clutch attaching
bolts
alternately,
one
turn
at a time, to avoid distorting the clutch
cover flange, until diaphragm spring is released.
g. Support the pressure plate and cover assembly
while removing last bolts; remove pressure plate
and
driven plate from flywheel.

Caution:
Use extreme care to keep clutch driven plate clean.

h.
If it is necessary to disassemble pressure plate,
remove three drive strap-to-pressure plate
bolts
and
retracting springs. Remove pressure plate from

clutch
cover.

Note:
When disassembling,
note
position of
grooves

on
edge
of pressure plate and cover. These marks must be aligned in assembly to maintain balance.

i.
The clutch diaphragm spring and two pivot rings

are
riveted to the clutch cover. Inspect spring, rings

and
cover for excessive wear or damage. If there
is a
defect,
replace the complete cover assembly.
