SERVICE PROCEDURES
CLUTCH COMPONENT LUBRICATION
Proper clutch component lubrication is important
to satisfactory operation. Using the correct lubricant

pressure plate contamination.
Clutch and transmission components requiring
lubrication are:
•
Pilot bearing.
•
Release lever pivot ball stud.
•
Release lever contact surfaces.
•
Release bearing bore.
•
Clutch disc hub splines.
•
Clutch pedal pivot shaft bore.
•
Clutch pedal bushings.
•
Input shaft splines.
•
Input shaft pilot hub.
•
Transmission front bearing retainer slide sur-
face.
NOTE: Never apply grease to any part of the clutch
cover, or disc.
RECOMMENDED LUBRICANTS
Use Mopar
t
multi-purpose grease for the clutch
pedal bushings and pivot shaft. Use Mopar
t
high
temperature grease (or equivalent) for all other lubri-
cation requirements. Apply recommended amounts
and do not over lubricate.
CLUTCH LINKAGE FLUID
If inspection or diagnosis indicates additional fluid
may be needed, use Mopar
t
brake fluid, or an equiv-
