Remove the tools [1], [2].

Retrieve:
  • The clutch mechanism (2)
  • The clutch disc
Visually check:
  • The flywheel face for damage or scores
  • The flywheel for wear
  • The condition of the starter ring gear
  • The clutch mechanism (2)
In the case of oil presence in the clutch mechanism:
  • Replace the seal of the crankshaft
  • Replace the output seal of the primary shaft
CAUTION: Do not reuse a clutch disc the hub of which bears traces of oxidation.
Refitting
CAUTION: Before fitting either a new or an existing mechanism, make sure that it is correctly in the initial position.
