Replacement
1.
Remove a transaxle assembly. (Refer to "Manual transaxle system" in MT group).
2.
Remove the clutch cover bolts. Not to be bent or twisted, loosen them in diagonal directions.

3.
Remove the clutch cover(A) and disc(B).

4.
Using the SST(09411-11000), install a disc(A).

Apply grease on a disc spline part and transmission input shaft spline part as required.
→ How to do: apply grease(CASMOLY L9508) 0.2gr. on the transmission input shaft spline part.
* Possible problems when not following
-
When not applying: Excessively wear of splines and bad clutch operation
-
When excessively applying: Scattered grease by centrifugal force conteminates the clutch disc. Loss of friction force can cause a slip
The 'T/M SIDE' marked surface should face the transaxle.
→ If the surface face the opposite side, there can be an interference between a disc and a flywheel surface.

5.
Tighten the clutch cover.
Install the clutch cover assembly to the flywheel and temporarily tighten the bolts three steps at time in a star pattern.

Tightening torque :
24.5~34.3 N.m (2.5~3.6 kgf.m, 18.0~26.0 lb-ft) (2.4L-6EA)

When installing the clutch cover, tighten the bolts in diagonal directions not to be bent or twisted.

* Possible problems when not following
-
When tightening the bolt completely at a time: the clutch cover can be twisted and vibration can occur.
-
On vehicles with 2.4L gasoline engines andclutches, it is necessary to follow this caution.
-
Not following tightening torque: There can be bad torque transmission in clutch and relaxation possibility of bolts.
Inspection
1.
Inspect diaphragm spring wear which is in contact with a concentric slave cylinder bearing.

2.
Check the clutch cover and disc surface for wear or crack.
3.
Check the clutch disc lining for slipping or oil mark.
4.
Measure the depth from a clutch lining surface to a rivet. If the measured value is less than the specification below, replace it.

Specification: 5 mm (0.1969 in.)
