Removing the clutch

The clutch can be removed on the engine mounted on the vehicle.

Remove the clutch in the following order:

• remove the gearbox (see subsection 10.1);
• using a core, mark the relative position of the clutch basket and flywheel;
• fix the flywheel in a fixed position;
• gradually unscrew the six bolts securing the clutch cover to the flywheel crosswise so as to unload the springs;

Attention! Sudden release of the mounting bolts can break the diaphragm spring and dowel pins.

• remove the clutch cover assembly with the pressure plate. This also releases the clutch disc.

When removing the engine or transmission, always disassemble the clutch to assess its condition.
