STANDARD COMPETENCIES:

 

 

 1. Identify causes of clutch noise, binding, slippage, pulsation, vibration, grabbing, dragging, and chatter problems;

    determine needed action.

 2. Inspect and adjust clutch linkage, cables, levers, brackets, bushings, pivots, springs, and clutch safety switch

    (includes push and pull-type assemblies); check pedal height and travel; perform needed action.

 3. Inspect, adjust, repair, or replace hydraulic clutch slave and master cylinders, lines, and hoses; bleed system.

 4. Inspect, adjust, lubricate, or replace release (throw-out) bearing, sleeve, bushings, springs, housing, levers, release fork,

    fork pads, rollers, shafts, and seals.

 5. Inspect, adjust, and replace single-disc clutch pressure plate, clutch disc, inspect and replace pilot bearing.

 6. Inspect, adjust, and replace two-plate clutch pressure plate, clutch discs, intermediate plate, and drive pins/lugs.

 7. Inspect and/or replace clutch brake assembly; inspect input shaft and bearing retainer; perform needed action.

 8. Inspect, adjust, and replace self-adjusting/continuous-adjusting clutch mechanisms.

 9. Remove and reinstall flywheel, inspect mounting area on crankshaft, rear main oil seal, and measure crankshaft end play;

    determine needed action.

 10. Inspect flywheel, starter ring gear and measure flywheel face and pilot bore runout; determine needed action.
