GREASE CONTAMINATION
Grease contamination is usually a product of over-lubrication. During clutch service, apply only a small amount of
grease to the input shaft splines. Excess grease may be thrown off during operation, contaminating the disc.
ROAD SPLASH/WATER CONTAMINATION
Road splash contamination is usually caused by driving the vehicle through deep water puddles. Water can be
forced into the clutch housing, causing clutch components to become contaminated. Facing of disc will absorb mois-
ture and bond to the flywheel and/or, pressure plate, if vehicle is allowed to stand for some time before use. If this
condition occurs, replacement of clutch assembly may be required. Drive the vehicle until normal clutch operating
temperature has been obtained. This will dry off disc assembly, pressure plate, and flywheel.
