APPLICATION

MANUAL TRANSMISSION APPLICATIONS

DESCRIPTION & OPERATION

Systemusesa single-plate clutch disc, a diaphragmspring pressure plate and a permanently

lubricated clutch release bearing. Clutch release system is hydraulic. Corvette uses a concentric

actuator/release bearing assembly located in the clutch housing. The hydraulic system provides

automatic clutch release adjustment.

BLEEDING

1. Clean cap. Remove reservoir cap and diaphragm. Fill reservoir and keep full throughout

procedure. Disconnect negative battery cable. Raise and support vehicle. Disconnect heated

Application Transmission Model (RPO Code)

Chevrolet Corvette Borg-Warner T56 6-Speed (MM6)

NOTE: Bleeding is necessary if system has been opened or if air has been

drawn into system due to low fluid level in reservoir.

CAUTION: When battery is disconnected, vehicle computer, memory

systems and remote keyless entry transmitters lose memory

data. Driveability problems may exist until computer systems

have completed a relearn cycle. Information transmitters (tire

pressure, door lock/unlock, seat position memory, etc.) if

equipped, may not operate until reprogrammed. See

COMPUTER RELEARN PROCEDURES article in GENERAL

INFORMATION and appropriate POWER DOOR LOCKS &

REMOTE KEYLESS ENTRY SYSTEMS article in ACCESSORIES

& EQUIPMENT before disconnecting battery.

CAUTION: DO NOT use silicone, mineral or paraffin base oil in clutch

hydraulic system, or damage to rubber parts in cylinders may

occur.

driveline support

flywheel housing bolts. Carefully bend wiring harness bracket away

fromdriveline to allow clear path for driveline removal.

18. Have an assistant insert a flat-blade tool between edge of driveline support and engine

flywheel housing. Gently begin to pry driveline loose from engine. With an assistant guiding

front of driveline, slowly lower driveline, while watching angle of tilt and separating

driveline from engine, until drive shaft at front of driveline just clears flywheel housing.

Slowly lower driveline completely out of vehicle.

19. With driveline and transmission removed fromvehicle, clutch assembly can now be

serviced. Remove flywheel inspection cover bolts, and remove inspection cover. Remove

flywheel housing-to-engine bolts, and remove housing. Loosen pressure plate-to-flywheel

bolts alternately and evenly (one turn at a time) in a diagonal pattern until spring pressure is

released. Remove pressure plate and clutch disc. See Fig. 4 .

shift rod. Remove differential-to-transmission bolts. Slowly separate differential from

transmission. If necessary, remove support fixture fromtransmission.

Inspection

1. Clean oil, grease, metal deposits, etc. fromflywheel mating surfaces. If flywheel or pressure

plate runout is greater than .050" (1.27 mm), flywheel and pressure plate must be replaced.

Inspect flywheel for cracks, heat marks, warpage or other damage. Slight surface scoring

can be removed with sandpaper. Replace or resurface as necessary.

2. Check pressure plate for warpage, heat marks (Blue in color) and cracks. Check diaphragm

spring fingers for uneven height and wear at throw-out bearing contact area. Replace

pressure plate if excessively worn or damaged. Replace clutch disc if runout is greater

than .020" (.51 mm). Check pilot bearing rotation. If roughness is felt or bearing does not

CAUTION:

Replace flywheel and pressure plate as a set if either has burn

damage, heat check damage, or runout exceeds specification.

Flywheel can be resurfaced only to clean up superficial

scoring.
