Q: How to remove and inspect the Clutch Disc,Pressure Plate and Release Bearing from a Mercury Lynx?
A: To remove the engine/transaxle assembly, detach the engine from the transaxle by unbolting. Mark the position of the pressure plate assembly on the flywheel with a center punch. Loosen the pressure plate bolts in a crisscross pattern and remove the pressure plate and disc assembly. Inspect the friction surfaces of the disc assembly, pressure plate, and flywheel for any damage. Check the clutch plate for wear and the hub for damage. Inspect the release bearing and lever. Ensure the pressure plate fits on the flywheel dowels. To install, position the disc assembly on the flywheel using an alignment tool. Align the pressure plate with the marked position and tighten the bolts. Install the release lever and bearing, then attach the transaxle to the engine.
