Clutch Cover / Intermediate Plate
A broken conversion ring (CR) or
intermediate plate lug in a stamped angle
spring clutch results from the mechanic
installing the conversion ring in backwards.
Weight has been removed from the
backside of the conversion ring similarly
to the machined intermediate plate guide
slots on the pressure plate side for balance.
When drawing in the mounting bolts to
proper torque, either the intermediate plate
lug or the conversion ring will break if the
ring is in backwards. The correct “Flywheel
Side” is marked on the ring.
