T-22-08-02 PROCEDURE
SERVICE MANUAL OVERVIEW - CLUTCH PRESSURE AND DRIVEN PLATE
INSTALLATION
During the installation process, it is critical that the pressure
plate fasteners be drawn in evenly to reduce runout in the
clutch assembly. If not installed properly, this runout can
cause uneven clutch engagement or shutter during take-off
as well as create premature wear and damage to the CSC
and clutch assembly.
1. Install the clutch alignment tool PU-51078 in order to
support the pressure plate to flywheel assembly.

3. Torque the pressure plate fasteners in the sequence
shown. Use 180° intervals until the initial torque
specification is reached to ensure the pressure plate is
drawn down evenly.
NOTICE
Inspect for any gaps between the pressure plate and the
flywheel. If any gaps are present, continue draw down
process until seated against the flywheel.

2. Hand start the pressure plate to flywheel bolts until they
come into contact with the pressure plate, leaving the
pressure plate.

Initial Torque:
7 ft-lbs (9 N·m)
4. Torque the pressure plate fasteners in the sequence

CSC LUBRICATION (AUTODRIVE
MODELS ONLY)
Lubrication of the CSC position sensor on AutoDrive
models should be performed any time the engine and
transmission are separated, or the CSC is replaced.
• It is recommended to apply a very thin layer of lithium or
silicon grease to the speed sensor groove shown below
and move the bearing in and out by hand to ensure good
coverage. Any excess fluid should be wiped clean.
