M4A2 Sherman clutch shim question

[Colin Alford]

There is some discrepancy regarding minimum thickness of clutch driven plate (disk) which would indicate that it should be replaced.

In my prior post I included images from TM 9-1750G (Power plant maintenance) which indicate the plate should be replaced if it is less than .303”

TM 9-745 (M36B2 vehicle maintenance) agrees with the .303” thickness.

TM 9-731B (M4A2 vehicle maintenance) shows .340” as the minimum thickness.
