Clutch Plate
A
worn clutch disc will cause clutch slippage and,
sometimes, damage to the flywheel and pressure
plate. To check disc wear, inspect the depth of
the rivet holes. The closer the rivets are to
the surface of the friction material, the more
worn the disc. Normally, the friction disc is
replaced anytime the clutch is removed for repairs.
The disc is reasonably inexpensive and highly
prone to wear.
Martin's Clutch and Brake can provide you with
a Brand New Clutch, Exchange Clutch, Custom Built
Clutches and/or have your old or rare clutch plate
resurfaced.
Cover Assembly
A faulty pressure
plate can also cause clutch slippage as well as
clutch release problems (stiff clutch pedal, clutch
grabbing, abnormal noises, dragging clutch). The
springs inside the clutch could lose tension or
break. The release levers could be bent or out
of adjustment. The face of the pressure plate
could also be scored.
Inspect
the pressure plate closely using the information
in a service manual. The manual will describe
various measurements to determine its condition.
Modern practice
is to replace the pressure plate. Most mechanics
don't repair them, as it is not cost effective
for them to do so. Martin's Clutch and Brake can
rebuild your old one or supply you a new one depending
on your budget.
Bearing
and Release Bearing
A worn pilot bearing
will allow the transmission input, shaft and clutch
disc to wobble up and down. This can cause clutch
vibration, abnormal noises, and damage to the
transmission. Martin's Clutch and Brake can supply
you with a new bearing.

Clutch Alignment
Tools
When installing
a new clutch it is recommended that you use a

and pressure plate onto the flywheel. Martin's
