Checking the driven clutch disc (Mitsubishi Carisma)

1. Check the clutch driven disc linings for wear, mechanical damage or oil contamination.

2. If these defects are present, the driven clutch disc must be replaced.

3. If the friction linings are in good condition and not worn down to the grooves, the damper springs are securely fastened and the riveted joints are not loose, the driven clutch disc can be installed in the vehicle.

4. If the clutch driven disc is contaminated with oil, check the rear crankshaft or transmission input shaft sealing ring. If necessary, replace the sealing ring before installing a new clutch driven disc.

5. Check the drive disk assembly for wear of the pressure plate, mechanical damage, and reliability of the riveted connection. Check the diaphragm clutch spring. If it is worn or damaged, or if there is a suspicion that the elasticity of the spring has changed, then it is necessary to replace the drive disk assembly.

6. Check the working surfaces of the pressure plate and flywheel that mate with the clutch disc linings. They must be clean, flat and free of scratches and wear.
