Before you start

  • These dimensions are critical. If the drive arm assembly is not properly positioned on the shaft, a preload condition can cause premature bearing failure.

Procedure

  1. If the drive pins were removed, install new pins by pressing them into the drive plate and peening the ends.
  2. Secure the drive plate assembly (4) to the engine flywheel with the hardware (10 and 11).
  3. Install the impeller shaft key and press the drive arm assembly (7) onto the impeller shaft.
  4. Align the drive arm assembly so the drive pins engage the dyna flex joints.
  5. Secure the intermediate (1) and guards (12) to the engine bellhousing with the hardware (2 and 3).
  6. Reconnect the engine ground cable (48, Figure 1).
