The clutch disk contains asbestos, which can cause lung disease and may be cancer-causing. Do not clean the clutch or housing with compressed air. Use a damp rag to wipe off surfaces and dispose of the rag. If a solvent is needed, use commercially available brake cleaners. Avoid inhaling any dust from the clutch surfaces. The clutch disc, pressure plate, release bearing, and pilot bearing are considered normal wear items. If the clutch disc or pressure plate are worn or defective, all of these components should be replaced. To remove and install the clutch, inspect the rear main/flywheel seal for leakage. Remove the transmission and place a drain pan under the clutch assembly. Clean the clutch assembly with brake cleaning fluid. Lock the flywheel in place and insert a clutch alignment tool. Match mark the pressure plate to the flywheel. Remove the clutch pressure plate fasteners evenly in a crisscross pattern and remove the pressure plate. Check the clutch disc for wear or cracks. Inspect the flywheel and pressure plate for scoring, cracks, or burns. Replace any defective parts. When installing the new clutch disc, pressure plate, and release bearing, make sure to clean and inspect all necessary components. Use a clutch alignment tool to properly position the clutch disc against the flywheel. Install the pressure plate and tighten the fasteners in a crisscross pattern. Check for excessive drag and adjust as necessary. Coat certain areas with high temperature grease. Install the release fork, release bearing, and complete the rest of the assembly in reverse order. Keep the mating surfaces of the transmission and engine parallel during installation. Check and top off all fluid levels as needed. Clutch adjustment is not possible as the hydraulic system automatically adjusts for wear. If the clutch does not disengage, check for air in the hydraulic system, a deteriorated flexible line, a bent or broken release fork, a damaged or seized clutch disc or pilot bearing, or an oil or coolant leak near the clutch assembly. If the clutch slips, check for a worn disc or pressure plate, an internally restricted hydraulic line, an oil leak near the clutch assembly, or fluid contamination in the hydraulic system.

The clutch disk, pressure plate, release bearing, and pilot bearing are considered normal wear items. If the clutch disk or pressure plate are worn or defective, it's recommended to replace all of these components.
