Clutch: Service and Repair

CLUTCH COVER AND DISC

COMPONENTS





REPLACEMENT
1. Remove a transaxle assembly.
2. Remove the clutch cover bolts. Not to be bent or twisted, loosen them in diagonal directions.





3. Remove the clutch cover and disc.
4. Using the SST (09411-43000), install a clutch disc and cover.

CAUTION:
^ Replace a clutch cover and disc as a set.
^ Possible problems when not following the caution.
- When replacing only a disc, slip problem can occur because of the initial clamp load loss by the adjusting ring's unusual work.
- When replacing only a disc, it can be difficult to cut power because the thickness of the disc cannot be permitted.
^ Apply grease on a disc spline part and transmission input shaft spline part as required.
*Possible problems when not following.
- When not applying: Excessively wear of splines and bad clutch operation.
- When excessively applying: Scattered grease by centrifugal force contaminates the clutch disc. Loss of friction force can cause a slip.
^ The "T/M SIDE" marked surface should face the transaxle.
- If the surface face the opposite side, there can be an interference between a disc and a flywheel surface.





5. Tighten the clutch cover.
TORQUE: 24.5-35.3 Nm (2.5-3.6 kgf.m, 18.1-26.0 lb-ft) (6EA)

CAUTION: When Installing the clutch cover, tighten the bolts In diagonal directions not to be bent or twisted.





CAUTION:
^ Possible problems when not following
- When tightening the bolt completely at a time: the clutch cover can be twisted and vibration can occur
- On vehicles with self adjusting clutches, it is necessary to follow this caution.
- Not following tightening torque: There can be bad torque transmission in clutch and relaxation possibility of bolts.

INSPECTION
1. Inspect diaphragm spring wear which is in contact with a concentric slave cylinder bearing.





2. Check the clutch cover and disc surface for wear or crack.
3. Check the clutch disc lining for slipping or oil mark.
4. Measure the depth from a clutch lining surface to a rivet. If the measured value is less than the specification below, replace it.
