TITAN CLUTCHES GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS CLEANING THE PARTS Use only soap and water on friction surfaces. Do not use solvent. Do not get any grease or oil on friction surfaces. Keep an eye on new pilot bearings, as they sometimes leak and get grease between the front disc and the flywheel. (Never use a pilot bushing.) TRANSMISSION INPUT SHAFT The transmission input shaft must have .090 to .100 end play with the transmission in high gear. This should be checked along with any crankshaft, block, or bellhousing changes. Make sure that the splines fully engage all clutch hubs. BELLHOUSING/TRANSMISSION ALIGNMENT The center hole in the bellhousing must have no more than .004 run-out on both the bore and the face (rear) of the crankshaft bore. FLYWHEEL MOUNTING Make sure that there are no burrs and that the crank flange is flat. Also, make sure that the crank flange fits the flywheel register. Red (strong) type locktite should be used on the bolts. Torque bolts to _____ ft. lbs. Pressure plate cover bolts should be torqued in the following manner: 7/16 inch bolts - 65 ft. lbs. 1/2 inch bolts - 75-80 ft. lbs. 9/16 inch bolts - 100-110 ft lbs. DISENGAGEMENT The linkage must have a minimum of 1/4 of an inch of travel between the release bearing and the clutch fingers (free play). The release bearing should depress levers around 1/2 to 5/8 of an inch. (This is an air gap of approximately .060.) BETWEEN RUNS Cool the clutch. Check lever height, ring height, and spring adjustment. Lever adjust- ment bolts should be snug, but do not over tighten them. Normal clutch wear varies with ap
