Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Technician A is correct because if the center (intermediate) plate in a multi-disc clutch pack binds on its drive pins, it can indeed cause issues with clutch release. Technician B is incorrect because it is not common practice to replace only the friction facings on clutch discs due to the precision balance and alignment required; typically, the entire clutch disc is replaced.
