  1. Remove the transmission. See TRANSMISSION . If the parts are to be reused, index-mark the clutch plate to the flywheel. Remove the clutch plate retaining bolts and the clutch disc.
  2. Lubricate the transmission input shaft pilot bearing with grease. Using the Clutch Disc Aligner (308-006, T71P-7137-H), position the clutch disc on the flywheel. See Figure.
  3. NOTE: If reusing the clutch plate and flywheel, align the marks made during removal.
  4. Using the clutch disc aligner, align the clutch disc and the clutch plate. Install the bolts and tighten in a crisscross pattern to specification. See TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS . An "L" is stamped by 3 bolt holes on the clutch plate. Tighten these to specification first to ensure correct clutch alignment. Install the transmission. See TRANSMISSION .
