Hello friends, welcome back to Rajesh Technical Blog.
Today, I will explain the complete Scorpio clutch plate changing process, step by step, in a simple way so that even a beginner can understand it clearly. If your Mahindra Scorpio is not picking power, slipping during acceleration, or making knocking sounds—then it may be time to replace the clutch plate.
Let’s get started.
⭐ Symptoms of a Faulty Scorpio Clutch Plate
Before changing the clutch, make sure these symptoms are present:
- Engine RPM increases but speed doesn’t
- Burning smell from clutch
- Gear shifting becomes hard
- Vibration while releasing clutch
- Pickup feels very low
- Vehicle struggles while climbing
If you notice these signs, replacing the clutch plate is the best solution.
⭐ Tools Required
To change the clutch plate of a Scorpio, you need:
- Jack and Jack Stand
- Socket Set (10mm–18mm)
- Extension Rod
- Clutch Alignment Tool
- Wrench Set
- Screwdriver
- Gear Oil
- Gloves & Safety Tools
🚗 Step-by-Step Clutch Plate Changing Process
Step 1: Park the Vehicle Safely
Park the Scorpio on a flat surface.
Pull the handbrake and disconnect the battery to avoid shocks.
Step 2: Remove the Gearbox
This is the most crucial part.
- First remove the gearbox shield
- Disconnect sensors & wiring
- Remove the gear lever linkage
- Remove the propeller shaft
- Support the gearbox using a jack
- Slowly unbolt and remove the gearbox
Make sure the gearbox is lowered smoothly.
Step 3: Access the Clutch Assembly
After removing the gearbox, you will see:
- Clutch Plate
- Pressure Plate
- Flywheel
Unbolt the pressure plate in cross pattern so the clutch comes out evenly.
Step 4: Remove Old Clutch Plate
Take out the worn-out clutch plate.
Check for:
- Burn marks
- Broken springs
- Uneven wear
If the flywheel surface is damaged, get it resurfaced.
Step 5: Install the New Clutch Plate
- Place the new clutch plate on the flywheel
- Insert clutch alignment tool to center it properly
- Tighten pressure plate bolts little by little in star pattern
Proper alignment is very important to avoid gear shifting issues.
Step 6: Reinstall the Gearbox
Now lift the gearbox slowly using a jack.
- Align it with the engine
- Insert all bolts and tighten them
- Reconnect all sensors & wiring
- Install the gear lever linkage
- Install the propeller shaft
Step 7: Final Checks
- Check clutch pedal free play
- Refill gear oil if necessary
- Start the engine and test the clutch
- Take a short road test
If the gear shifts smoothly and the power feels better, your installation is successful.
