Removal and Installation

INFOID:0000000009417441

CAUTION:

• Do not reuse CSC (concentric slave cylinder). CSC slides back to the original position every time

when removing transaxle assembly. At this time, dust on the sliding parts may damage the seal of

CSC and may cause clutch fluid leaks.

• Do not allow any grease to contact the clutch disc facing, pressure plate surface and flywheel sur-

face.

• Do not clean clutch disc using solvent.

REMOVAL

1. Remove engine and transaxle assembly. Refer to 

TM-24, "Removal and Installation"

.

2. Loosen clutch cover bolts evenly. Then remove clutch cover and clutch disc.

INSTALLATION

1. Clean clutch disc and input shaft splines to remove grease and dust caused by 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 shudder. If grease adheres to seal of

CSC, it may cause clutch fluid leaks. Wipe off excess grease. Wipe off any grease oozing from the

parts.

Inspection

INFOID:0000000009417442

INSPECTION AFTER REMOVAL

Clutch Disc

• Measure clutch facing runout. If it is outside the specification,

replace clutch disc.

• Measure spline backlash at outer edge of clutch disc. If it is outside

the specification, replace clutch disc.

• Measure the depth (A) to clutch disc facing rivet heads, using suit-

able tool. If it exceeds the allowable wear limit, replace clutch disc.

Clutch Cover

• Check clutch cover thrust ring for wear or damage. If wear or damage is found, replace clutch cover.

NOTE:

• Worn thrust ring will generate a beating noise when tapped at the rivet using suitable tool.

• 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.
