OVERHAUL - REASSEMBLY (Cont)
Sintered-Metal Clutch Plates
The possibility of clutch pack failure exists on initial start-up
after rebuild, due to lack of lubrication until lube pressure builds
up.
All sintered-metal clutch plates must be submerged in oil (use
same oil as will be used in unit) for a minimum of one (1) hour
prior to assembly. A longer soaking period would be even more
beneficial.
Covering the plates with oil from an oil can during assembly is
NOT sufficient!
