CAUTION:

• If transaxle assembly is removed from the vehicle, always replace CSC (Concentric Slave Cylinder). Return CSC insert to

original position to remove transaxle assembly. Dust on clutch disc sliding parts may damage seal of CSC and may cause
clutch fluid leakage.

• Never bring any grease to the clutch disc facing, pressure plate surface and flywheel surface.

• When installing, be careful that grease applied to input shaft does not adhere to clutch disc.

• Never clean in solvent on clutch disc.

CAUTION:

If transaxle assembly is removed from the vehicle, always replace CSC (Concentric Slave Cylinder).
Return CSC insert to original position to remove transaxle assembly. Dust on clutch disc sliding parts
may damage seal of CSC and may cause clutch fluid leakage.

REMOVAL

1.

Remove transaxle assembly from the vehicle. Refer to  

TM-35, "Removal and Installation"

 (RS6F94R).

2.

Loosen clutch cover mounting bolts.

3.

Remove clutch cover and clutch disc.

CAUTION:

Never drop clutch disc.

INSTALLATION

1.

Clean clutch disc and input shaft splines to remove grease and powder arisen from abrasion.

2.

Apply recommended grease to clutch disc and input shaft splines.

CAUTION:

Be sure to apply grease to the points specified. Otherwise, noise, poor disengagement, or damage
to the clutch may result. Excessive grease may cause slip or judder. And if it adheres to seal of
CSC, it cause clutch fluid leakage. Wipe off excess grease. Wipe off any grease oozing from the
parts.

Final 

step

 : Apply lithium-based grease including molybdenum disulphide.

NOTE:
New clutch discs are pre-greased, additional greasing is not required. If refitting used disc, apply a thin coating of grease.

INSPECTION AFTER REMOVAL

CLUTCH DISC

• Measure circumferential runout relative to clutch disc center spline.

If it is outside the specification, replace clutch disc.

• Measure backlash to clutch disc spline and main drive gear spline

at the circumference of clutch disc. If outside the specification,
replace clutch disc.

• Measure the depth “A” to clutch disc facing rivet heads using cali-

pers. If it exceeds the allowable facing wear limit, replace clutch
disc.

CLUTCH COVER

Check diaphragm spring lever claws for unevenness with the lever
still on the vehicle. If they exceed the tolerance, adjust lever height
using the diaphragm adjusting wrench [SST: ST20050240].

• Check clutch cover thrust ring for wear or breakage. If wear or

breakage is found, replace clutch cover.
NOTE:
• Worn thrust ring will generate a beating noise when tapped at the

rivet with a hammer.

• Broken thrust ring will make a clinking sound when cover is

shaken up and down.

• If a trace of burn or discoloration is found on the clutch cover pressure plate to clutch disc contact surface,

repair the surface with sandpaper. If surface is damaged or distorted, replace clutch cover.
