Release 1 

New unit of competency.

Application

This unit describes the performance outcomes required to return a clutch assembly to original manufacturer tolerances and clearances. It involves preparing for the task, dismantling and evaluating the clutch assembly, carrying out the overhaul procedures, reassembling and testing the clutch assembly, and completing workplace processes and documentation.

It applies to those working on clutch assemblies in vehicles from all sectors of the industry.

No licensing, legislative, regulatory or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.

3.1 Overhaul information is sourced and interpreted

3.2 Overhaul options are analysed and those most appropriate to the circumstances are selected

3.3 Overhaul tools and equipment are selected and checked for serviceability

3.4 Components are machined, repaired and replaced as required, and adjustments are carried out according to manufacturer specifications, workplace procedures, and safety and environmental requirements, and without causing damage to components or systems

4. Assemble clutch assembly and components

4.1 Clutch assembly is assembled according to manufacturer specifications, workplace procedures, and safety and environmental requirements

4.2 Tolerances and clearances are measured against manufacturer specifications and necessary adjustments are made

4.3 Assembly of clutch assembly is completed within workplace timeframes and without causing damage to other components or systems

4.4 Post-assembly testing is carried out according to workplace procedures and safety and environmental requirements, and any problems detected as having been introduced during the assembly process are rectified

5. Complete work processes

5.1 Final inspection is made to ensure work is to workplace expectations and clutch assembly is presented ready for use or storage

5.2 Work area is cleaned, waste and non-recyclable materials are disposed of, and recyclable material is collected

5.3 Tools and equipment are checked and stored according to workplace procedures

5.4 Workplace documentation is processed according to workplace procedures

Foundation Skills

This section describes those language, literacy, numeracy and employment skills that are essential to performance and are not explicit in the performance criteria.

Skills 

Description 

Learning skills to:

  • locate sources of information for clutch assemblies efficiently.

Reading skills to:

  • interpret and assess information from manufacturer and workshop literature when seeking clutch assembly specifications and procedures.

Writing skills to:

  • legibly and accurately fill out workplace documentation when reporting diagnostic findings, making repair recommendations, and recording parts and material used.

Oral communication skills to:

  • clarify instructions, report evaluation findings and make overhaul recommendations.

Numeracy skills to:

  • measure clutch assembly components, and use basic mathematical operations, including addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, to calculate distances, areas, volumes, tolerances and deviations from manufacturer specifications.

Planning and organising skills to:

  • plan own work requirements and prioritise and sequence actions to achieve required outcomes and ensure tasks are completed within workplace timeframes.

Technology skills to:

  • use precision measuring equipment, such as micrometers and dial bore gauges
  • use specialised clutch assembly overhaul equipment.

Range of Conditions

This section specifies work environments and conditions that may affect performance. Essential operating conditions that may be present (depending on the work situation, needs of the candidate, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts) are included. Bold italicised wording, if used in the performance criteria, is detailed below.

Safety and environmental requirements  must include:

  • work health and safety (WHS) and occupational health and safety (OHS) requirements, including procedures for:
  • trapping, storing and disposing of brake dust and brake fluids
  • using specialised clutch assembly overhaul tools, equipment and machinery
  • using chemicals and toxic cleaning substances
  • environmental requirements, including procedures for trapping, storing and disposing of fluids and dust released from clutch assemblies.

Assessment Conditions

Assessors must satisfy NVR/AQTF assessor requirements.

Competency is to be assessed in the workplace or a simulated environment that accurately reflects performance in a real workplace setting.

Assessment must include direct observation of tasks.

Where assessment of competency includes third-party evidence, individuals must provide evidence that links them to the clutch assemblies that they have worked on, e.g. repair orders.

Assessors must verify performance evidence through questioning on skills and knowledge to ensure correct interpretation and application.

The following resources must be made available:

  • mechanical repair workplace or simulated workplace
  • workplace instructions
  • manufacturer clutch assembly specifications
  • three different clutch assemblies requiring overhaul
  • tools, equipment and materials appropriate for overhauling and adjusting clutch assemblies.
