If reinstalling used cover, the cover should be installed with its clutch disc as a set.
Apply grease on a disc spline part and transaxle input shaft spline part as required.
* Possible problems when not following recommendations:
When not applying enough grease: Excessive wear of splines and bad clutch operation can occur.
When excessive grease is applied:
Grease can be scattered by centrifugal force which can contaminate the clutch disc.
This can cause a loss of friction force causing a slip.
The 'T/M SIDE' marked surface should face the transaxle.
* Possible problems when the disc is installed in the opposite direction.
Transaxle shift error or a strange sound can occur due to clutch separation.
Install the clutch disc and the cover with SST (09411-1P000).
Install the clutch cover bolts. Not to be bent or twisted, Tighten them in diagonal directions.
Tightening torque:
24.5 ~ 35.3 N.m (2.5 ~ 3.6 kgf.m, 18.1 ~ 26.0 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 transaxle may have concerns or the mounting bolt can loosen.
Install the transaxle assembly.
