Remove the clutch cover bolts. Be careful not to be bent or twist bolts. Loosen bolts in diagonal directions.
Inspect diaphragm spring wear which is in contact with a concentric slave cylinder bearing.
Check the clutch cover and disc surface for wear or cracks.
Check the clutch disc facing for slipping or oil marks.
Measure the depth from a clutch facing surface to a rivet. If the measured value is less than the specification below, replace it.
Clutch disc rivet depth (A) :
0.3 mm (0.0118 in.)
Clutch cover and disc should be replaced as a set.
Apply grease on a disc spline part and transaxle input shaft spline part as required.
Specified grease: CASMOLY L9508
Amount: 0.2 g
When not applying: Excessive wear of splines and bad clutch operation can occur.
When excessively applying: 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).
Tighten the clutch cover bolts.
Tightening torque
Gasoline 1.6 : 14.7 ~ 21.6 N.m (1.5 ~ 2.2 kgf.m, 10.8 ~ 15.9 lb-ft)
Ethanol 1.6 : 14.7 ~ 21.6 N.m (1.5 ~ 2.2 kgf.m, 10.8 ~ 15.9 lb-ft)
Gasoline 2.0 : 11.8 ~ 14.7 N.m (1.2 ~ 1.5 kgf.m, 8.7 ~ 10.8 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.
