B. INSPECTION OF COMPONENTS
1. Check SAC clutch disc hub splines for damage
and wear. The SAC disc set should easily slide
on the gearbox drive shaft but should not have
excessive play and wobble.
2. Check disc facing for wear, cracks, contact
pattern, burning marks and oil contamination.
Facings with any of the above defects or worn
out beyond permissible limits must be replaced
as a set.
3. Overhauling of clutch cover assembly is not
recommended. Before fitment, assembly should
be checked against specification and for
damage to pressure plate assembly.
4. Ensure that the clutch lining material is not
contaminated with oil or grease as this shall
result in clutch slipping.
