Removal
1. | Remove the transaxle assembly. (Refer to "Manual transaxle system" in MT group)
2. | Remove the clutch cover bolts. Be careful not to be bent ortwist bolts. Loosen bolts in diagonal directions.
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 cracks.
3. | Check the clutch disc lining for slipping or oil marks.
4. | Measure the depth from a clutch lining surface to a rivet. If the measured value is less than the specification below, replace it.
Standard value Clutch disc thickness(A)[when free] : 8.3 ± 0.3 mm (0.3268 ± 0.0118 in.) Clutch disc rivet depth(B) : 1.1 mm (0.0433 in.)
Installation
If reinstalling used cover, the cover should be installed with its clutch disc as a set.
1. | Replace a clutch cover and disc as a set.
• | When replacing only a disc, a slip problem can occur because of the load loss due to uneven surface wear.
• | When replacing only a disc, it can be difficult to cut power because the thickness of the disc won't permit it.
2. | Apply grease on a disc spline part and transmission input shaft spline part as required.
* Possible problems when not following
- | When not applying: Excessive wear of splines and bad clutch operation can occur.
- | When excessively applying: Grease can be scattered bycentrifugal force which can conteminate the clutch disc. This can cause a loss of friction force causing a slip.
3. | The 'T/M SIDE' marked surface should face the transmission .
* Possible problems when the disc is installed in the opposite direction.
• | There can be an interference between the concentric slave cylinder on the TM side and a engine flywheel surface.
• | Transaxle shift errror or a strangesound can occur due to clutch separation.
4. | Install the clutch disc and the cover with SST(A : 09411-1P000).
5. | Install the clutch cover bolts. Not to be bent or twisted, Tighten them in diagonal directions.
Tightening torque: 14.7 ~ 21.6 N.m (1.5 ~ 2.2 kgf.m, 10.8 ~ 15.9 lb-ft)
• | Loosely tighten every clutch cover bolts, then torque to specifications in a diagonal direction. This can prevent twisting, vibration of the cover, and the lifting of the pressure plate.
• | Install the all the components with the specified torques. If not, the clutch torque transmission may have concerns or the mounting bolt can loosen.
6. | Install the transaxle assembly. (Refer to "Manual transaxle system" in MT group)
