Clutch: Service and Repair

Clutch Assembly Replacement (CTS)

Removal Procedure




1. Remove the manual transmission.
2. Remove the clutch pressure plate bolts.
3. Remove the clutch pressure plate and driven disc from the dowel pins on the flywheel.

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 transmission 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 and driven plate to the dowel pins on the flywheel.
3. Install the clutch pressure plate bolts finger tight.
4. Using a commercially available universal clutch alignment tool, align the clutch driven plate to the clutch pilot bearing.

Tighten the clutch pressure plate bolts in sequence and evenly over 3 increments with the fourth increment to 28 N.m (21 lb ft).
