CAUTION:
Do not
force
the valves or plugs

or burrs, the
valve body components should all slide
into
place
easily. In
addition,
do not
overtighten
the
transfer
plate
and valve body
screws
during

FRONT CLUTCH CLEANING AND INSPECTION Clean and inspect the front clutch components. Re
place the clutch discs if warped, worn, scored, burned or charred, the lugs are damaged, or if the facing is
flaking off. Replace the steel plates if heavily scored,
warped, or broken. Be sure the driving lugs on the discs and plate are also in good condition. The lugs
must not be bent, cracked or damaged in any way.
Replace the piston springs and spring retainer if ei
ther are distorted, warped or broken. Check the lug grooves in the clutch piston retainer.
The steel plates should slide freely in the slots. Re
place the piston retainer if the grooves are worn or damaged. Also check action of the check ball in the
piston retainer. The ball must move freely and not stick.
Replace the retainer bushing if worn, scored, or
there is any doubt about bushing condition.
Inspect the piston and retainer seal surfaces for
nicks or scratches. Minor scratches can be removed
with crocus cloth. However, replace the piston and/or
retainer if the seal surfaces are seriously scored.
