When this is believed to have a significant bearing on this manual, supplementary ser-
vice bulletins will be issued to cover the changes.
In service procedures where the title incorporates an operation number, this is a refer-
ence to an S.R.T. (Standard Repair Time).
Service procedures which do not include an operation number in the title are for gen-
eral information and no reference is made to an S.R.T.
The following levels of observations, cautions and warnings are used in this Service

Caution: Indicates an unsafe practice where damage to the product could occur.
Warning: Indicates an unsafe practice where personal injury or severe damage to the
product could occur.
Danger: Indicates an unsafe practice where serious personal injury or death could oc-

Spicer Easy-Pedal pull-type clutches include all cast
angle spring pull-type clutches. The primary difference is
the ease of pedal effort. Otherwise, the clutches are ba-
sically the same; minor differences in adjustment are
noted in “Internal Clutch Adjustment” page 56.

Clutch Function
The clutch transfers power from the engine to the trans-
mission. The transmission input shaft may be stationary
(getting started) or rotating at a different speed than the
engine (upshifting or downshifting). The clutch has
performed its function when both the engine and trans-
mission are rotating at the same speed.

Spicer Easy-PedalTM
Clutch
The Easy-Pedal design decreases pedal effort as
much as 50% by the use of assist springs and increases
facing life up to 50% more than other pull-type clutches.
Regular maintenance ensures constant pressure-plate
load regardless of age or wear because of the precise
angle of Spicer’s rugged angular-spring design.
TM
The major components of the Spicer® Easy-Pedal
clutch are the cover assembly and two driven discs sep-
arated by an intermediate plate. They are adjustable,
pull-type clutches of the dry-disc design and have cen-
trally located springs isolated from the heat of the
pressure plate. Dampened driven discs (with springs)
and ceramic facings are considered standard and are
recommended for most applications. Driven discs with
solid centers (rigid) are available.
In the 14 in., two-plate model, the intermediate plate sep-
arating the discs is driven inside by a “pot-type” flywheel
and mounted on six drive pins in the flywheel itself.
Both clutches (14 in. and 15–1/2 in.) offer these advan-
tages:
• Smooth engagement
• Simplified adjustment
• Direct interchangeability

Heavy-Duty Clutches TM
The Spicer® Easy-Pedal clutch is available in a 14 in.
Super-Duty model. It offers extra capacity for heavy-duty
conditions on and off highway, and for pickup, and
delivery applications. The Super-Duty has a thicker inter-
mediate plate to absorb and dissipate up to 30% more
heat. Driven discs are faced with four ceramic buttons
per side to provide 33% more friction area.
Coaxial Springs
The coaxial spring (spring-within-a-spring) design in-
creases the life of the clutch and whole drivetrain by
dampening the torsional vibrations inherent in all
drivelines.

Free travel
The disc hub can move 1.5 in either direction before it
engages the dampening springs, thereby reducing gear
rattle when the truck is at idle.
Driven-Disc Design
In the past, no one worried about torsional vibration.
Transmissions with 10 or more speeds were split in a
narrow range between 1,800 and 2,100 rpm. Today’s
fuel-efficient engines have high torque and lower-
governed rpm. With fewer speeds in the transmission,
the result is much greater torsional vibration, which
presents a need for finely-tuned dampened discs.

Possible Causes:
A. While installing the transmission, the clutch control
arm was used to draw the transmission into the fly-
wheel bell housing pilot, forcing the clutch release
bearing to move rearward. This excessive move-
ment of the bearing caused the Solo to adjust
when no adjustment was required. See “Solution

If a clutch brake is used, install it on
the input shaft.

Check for wear on the fingers of the
clutch release yoke. Also check the
cross shaft and the cross shaft bush-
ings. Replace them if necessary.
6
Check to be sure that neither cross
shaft protrudes through the release
fork, as this could cause side loading
of the release bearing.

CAUTION
The release fork fingers must not be elevated to the
straight-out position, as they could damage the clutch
cover when moving the transmission forward.
CAUTION
Do not let the rear of the transmission drop or hang
unsupported in the splined hubs of the driven discs.
Failure to adequately support the transmission and
maintain alignment can damage the hubs, and can
result in poor clutch operation or clutch release prob-
lems.
9
Move the transmission forward, but
never force the transmission into the
clutch or flywheel housing. If the trans-
mission does not enter freely,
investigate the cause and make ad-
justments until it does.
10
Mate the transmission with the engine
housing and install the mounting bolts.
Torque the bolts to the proper manu-
facturer’s specifications. Attach the
clutch release linkage.
