Clean the dust from the clutch housing using a vacuum or cloth, Do not use compressed air. Check for oil leakage from the engine rear bearing oilseal and transaxle front oil seal. If leaky, repair them.
The friction surface of the pressure plate must be uniform over the entire disc surface. If any part shows excessive wear, the pressure plateis installed badly.
Check the friction surface of the flywheel for color change, partial damage, small cracks, and wear.
Don't touch the clutch disc with contaminated hands or gloves. Replace the clutch disc if the facing is stained with oil or grease. Measure the rivetdepth. Replace the clutch disc if the rivet depth is less than 3 mm.
Limit : 0.3 mm (0.012 in.) |
Check the hub spline and torsion spring of the clutch disc for excessive wear.
Clean the friction surface of the pressure plate with cleaning solvent.
Measure the flatness of the pressure plate with a square. If it exceeds 0.5 mm, replace it. Check the pressure plate surface of wear, cracks, andcolor change.
Check that the three-dowel on the flywheel is installed completely.
The release bearing is packed with grease. Do not use cleaning solvent or oil on it.
Check the bearing for seizure, damage or abnormal noise. Also check the diaphragm spring contact points for wear.
