Known as the ABC clutch Pretty simple remove the 4 bolts from the adj plate (they are either in the A B or C mode ) Take off the diaphragm spring/pressure plate pull out steel plates and friction plates inspect the stl plates replace the friction plates replace the pressure plate/diaphragm spring/adjusting plate put the 4 bolts in the B mode tighten to spec Before doing this job grab the clutch basket and see if alot of side to side movement exists There were some issues on the clutch hub back then cracking at the keyway taper

Oh by the way you might want to remove the circlip (center of inner clutch hub) now you can remove the release plate with the clutch adjusting screw and locking nut then proceed as per first post

Like sqdealgeorge said! If in doubt get yourself a factory workshop manual.
