CAUTION
When you remove, handle, or install clutch packs, keep all clutch plates in the same order and
pointing in the same direction. Under heat and pressure, clutch plates can take on a conical
shape, called coning. Each plate will be different in degree of coning. When coned plates are
mixed or turned over, they cannot install properly against each other. This can prevent plates
from making adequate surface contact with each other for the clutch pack to operate effectively.
When one clutch plate needs to be replaced, replace the entire clutch pack. Individual clutch
plates should not be replaced, because new plates will not have the surface contour of adjacent
older plates, decreasing effectiveness of the clutch pack.
Clutch assemblies function in pairs. When one clutch pack fails, a second clutch pack will
often be defective. Failure of one clutch pack requires inspection of all clutch assemblies in
the range pack.
15.Remove third clutch pack (Figure 5, Item 17) which has three friction plates and four steel reaction plates.
