- 1975 CJ5, Basically stock except for electronic ignition.
I'm going to change out my clutch on my 1975 CJ5 here soon. I haven't changed one since the 70s, so I was reading my Haynes and my Chilton manual and they both said to mark the flywheel, clutch cover, and clutch plate with a punch so that they can go back together the same way they came apart. First of all, what it the difference between the clutch cover and the pressure plate? The second thing is if I'm going to replace everything and going to resurface the flywheel, why would marking it when I take it apart help me? As I remember changing the clutch was a pretty straight forward operation. Thanks.
