Clutch Installation

CLUTCH INSTALLATION






1. Install flywheel-to-crankshaft and start bolts.
2. Torque the bolts in a crisscross pattern.
Torque: 80 Nm (59 ft-lbs)






3. Install the clutch disc alignment tool SA9145T in the clutch disc and push in until it bottoms out in the crankshaft.






4. Install the clutch disc and pressure plate with the yellow dot on the pressure plate aligned as close as possible to the mark on the flywheel. Position the clutch disc so that the side marked "FLYWHEEL SIDE" is toward the flywheel. Start the pressure plate to flywheel bolts.






5. Tighten the bolts using a progressive crisscross pattern to prevent warping of the cover stamping.
Torque: 25 Nm (18 ft-lbs)

IMPORTANT: When tightening the pressure plate bolts, do not tighten any one bolt more than half a turn at a time or the pressure plate cover may warp.

6. Remove clutch alignment tool from clutch disc.






7. Install clutch fork stabilizer and ball stud if removed.
Torque: 24 Nm (18 ft-lbs)
8. Install fork retainer to clutch fork.

NOTICE: Do not lube the release bearing or bearing quill.
9. Install release fork and bearing to transaxle by snapping fork onto ball stud.






10. Lube fork pivot point with high temperature grease (P/N 21005995) or equivalent and install release bearing to release fork.
11. Lightly lube input shaft splines with high temperature grease (P/N 21005995) or equivalent.

NOTICE: Excessive amounts of grease on the input shaft splines can contaminate the clutch dish and cause clutch shudder.

12. Install transaxle. (Refer to "Manual Transaxle Installation".)

NOTICE: On vehicles equipped with an SIR system, enable the SIR system. (Refer to "Enabling the SIR System".)
