Procedures




Clutch Disc Check





NOTE: The 5.4L application is an assembly of discs and plates. It is serviced as an assembly only.

1. Check the clutch disc for the following conditions. Install a new clutch disc as necessary.
- Lining surface for hardening

- Presence of oil

- Loose clutch disc lining rivet

- Cracking, scoring or other surface marks
- Use an emery cloth to remove minor imperfections in the clutch disc lining surface

- Discoloration





2. Check for a worn clutch disc lining. Measure the minimum allowable depth to the rivet heads with a slide caliper. Install a new clutch disc as necessary.





3. Using a suitable lathe and a Dial Indicator/Magnetic Base, check the maximum allowable runout of the clutch disc. Install a new clutch disc as necessary.
