Replacement

CLUTCH COVER AND DISC

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





3. Remove the clutch cover (A) and disc (B).





4. Using the SST (09411-11000), install a disc (A).





CAUTION:
^ On vehicles with 2.4L gasoline engines, 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.
^ On vehicles with 2.4L gasoline engines and self adjusting clutches, it is necessary to replace a clutch cover and disc together.
^ Apply grease on a disc spline part and transmission input shaft spline part as required. -> How to do: apply grease (CASMOLY L9508) 0.2 gr. on the transmission input shaft spline part.
^ 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: 11.8 - 14.7 Nm (120 - 150 kgf-cm, 8.7 - 10.8 ft. lbs.) (2.4L-9EA)





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





^ 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 2.4L gasoline engines and 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.
