Clutch Components Cleaning and Inspection


Object Number: 1907937  Size: MF

Clutch Components Cleaning and Inspection

Callout

Component Name

Preliminary Procedures

  1. Inspect all components or sub-components and perform any repair procedure necessary to fix the damage. The clutch pack is only available as an assembly (1-4).
  2. Do not clean the clutch fiber plates in solvent. Other components may be cleaned in solvent.

1

Transfer Case Clutch Pack Housing and Clutch Hub

Tip
Inspect the clutch housing and clutch hub for excessive wear or damage. Excessive wear can be identified by steps in the teeth, which prevent the plates from moving freely.

2

Transfer Case Friction Plate

Tip

    • The friction plates are assembled with the lube holes aligned. This provides an unrestricted oil path when assembled.
    • Inspect the plates for worn, scored, or burnt friction material.
    • Inspect the plates for flatness and warping.

3

Transfer Case Separator Plate

Tip

    • The friction plates are assembled with the lube holes aligned. This provides an unrestricted oil path when assembled.
    • Inspect the plates for worn, scored, or burnt friction material.
    • Inspect the plates for flatness and warping.

4

Transfer Case Pressure Plate

Tip
Inspect the plates for flatness and warping.

5

Transfer Case Armature

Tip
Small scratches or wear patterns are allowed on the armature. Deep gouges or raised metal in armature require transfer case replacement. The armature is assembled in the clutch pack with the rounded edges on the spline teeth towards the pack. The armature is not serviced.

6

Transfer Case Clutch Pack Assembly

Tip
If the clutch pack assembly is replaced, a 12.7 k ohm clutch coil resistor should be used in place of the pre-existing resistor. If the resistor is replaced due to loss or damage without replacing the clutch pack, replace with one of the same resistance and refer to Transfer Case Clutch Coil Resistor Replacement.
