CLUTCH ASSEMBLY REPLACEMENT

Tools Required
^ J33169 Clutch Alignment Arbor

Removal Procedure






1. Remove the transmission. Transaxle Replacement
2. Remove the clutch pressure plate bolts (1).
3. Remove the clutch pressure plate (2) and driven disc (4) from the dowel pins on the flywheel (3).

Installation Procedure

Important: When the clutch driven plate requires replacement, the engine flywheel must also be replaced along with the clutch pressure plate as an assembly.






1. The splined portion of the driven plate protrudes out of the plate more on one side than the other. The side that protrudes out more is the flywheel side. The arrow in the graphic indicates the front of the vehicle, or flywheel side of the driven plate.






2. Install the clutch pressure plate (2) and driven plate (6) to the dowel pins on the flywheel (5).
3. Install the clutch pressure plate bolts (1) finger tight.
4. Use the J33169 in order to align the clutch driven plate to the clutch pilot bearing.






Notice: Use the correct fastener in the correct location. Replacement fasteners must be the correct part number for that application. Fasteners requiring replacement or fasteners requiring the use of thread locking compound or sealant are identified in the service procedure. Do not use paints, lubricants, or corrosion inhibitors on fasteners or fastener joint surfaces unless specified. These coatings affect fastener torque and joint clamping force and may damage the fastener. Use the correct tightening sequence and specifications when installing fasteners in order to avoid damage to parts and systems.

5. Tighten the clutch pressure plate bolts in the sequence shown, starting with the number one and following in numerical order.
Tighten the clutch pressure plate bolts in sequence and evenly over 3 increments with the fourth increment to 30 Nm (22 ft. lbs.).

6. Remove the J33169.
7. Install the manual transmission.
