TM 9-2520-272-40 0051 REPAIR FORWARD CLUTCH HOUSING ASSEMBLY CAUTION When you remove, handle, or install the clutch pack, make sure that all clutch plates and plates stay in the same order and face the same direction. Under heat and pressure, clutch plates can take on a conical shape, called coning. The degree of coning in each plate will be different. When coned plates are mixed or turned over, they do not install correctly together. This can keep plate surfaces from fully engaging. If this occurs, the clutch pack to may not operate satisfactorily. When you replace one clutch plate or plate, replace the entire clutch pack. Do not replace only one clutch plate because a new plate will not have the correct surface contour to engage the adjacent older plates, This will make the operation of the clutch pack unsatisfactory. Clutch assemblies operate in pairs. When one clutch pack is defective, a second clutch pack will often be defective. If one clutch pack is defective, it is necessary to inspect all clutch assemblies in the range pack. Remove Forward Clutch Housing Assembly Components 1. Remove retaining ring (Figure 1, Item 1). 2.
