CAUTION:
  • Do not reuse the gasket, O-ring, oil seal. Always replace with a new one when assembling.
  • Do not use grease. Use petroleum jelly (i.e. Vase line).
  • Apply ATF to friction components, rotating parts, and sliding parts before installation. Immerse new clutch discs or brake discs in ATF for at least two hours before assembling them.
  • When replacing a bushing, replace the assembly which it belongs to.
  • Do not use cloth gloves or shop towels during assembly. Use nylon cloth or other lint-free material.
