FIGURE 2 - INPUT CLUTCH RETAINER:

1. Compare the input clutch retainer to Figure 2. check for a bump on the rear face of the retainer as shown. If the bump is present, replace the retainer with a new one (P/N 4431609).
2. Replace the input clutch hub (P/N 4431614) with the new hub supplied in the service package. When installing the input shaft into the new hub, use a plastic hammer and tap the shaft lightly on the rear face until the snap ring is bottomed on the hub. This will "seat" the snap ring and prevent input shaft runout. The new input clutch hub has shallower "O" ring grooves to increase the compression of the Orings.

3. The input clutch hub "O" rings may be either black, or orange (front) and green (rear). There is no difference in any of the O-rings. The color was added to facilitate assembly.

4. Inspect and replace any distressed (burned) clutch components as required.
