Re: need new clutchplate & pressure plate for manua
Instructions- Remove the Old Clutch
- 1Verify that your vehicle's clutch is the source of your problems and not the pedal-arm bushings, activating cables or the slave-master cylinder.
- 2Unhook the positive battery cable, the clutch cable or hydraulic slave cylinder to get the transaxle ready for easy removal. Eliminate anything that may hinder your efforts, including exhaust pipes and the speedometer.
- 3
- Secure your car in a safe position before jacking up the front end.
- 4Stabilize the engine with a jack below the oil pan. Remove the transaxle by undoing at least one engine mount.
- 5Separate the engine from the transaxle by removing the bolts that surround the flywheel bell housing.
- 6Push the transaxle away from the engine until the input shift clears the pressure plate.
- 7Disengage the bolts surrounding the pressure plate and take it and the clutch disc out. Check to see if the flywheel's friction surface is scored, checked or has hot spots. Remove, machine and reinstall the flywheel, if needed.
- 8Examine the pilot bearing (bushing) located at the flywheel's center to be sure the needle bearings are lubricated and that there's no galling. Also look for any oil leaking around the rear main engine seal.
Replace the Clutch- 9Follow the instructions for replacing your car's clutch carefully to avoid having to remove the transaxle.
- 10Check that the transaxle's input shaft isn't leaking; replace if needed.
- 11Take out the flywheel and the old seal and install a new seal.
Install a New Clutch- 12Clean the crankshaft flange before putting in the flywheel. With the flywheel on top of the flange, secure the bolts in a star formation to the specified torque for your vehicle.
- 13Install the clutch disc and pressure plate. Prior to putting in the transaxle, attach the new release bearing to the release fork. The fork should move freely.
- 14Hoist the transaxle into position and move it forward until the input shaft glides into the clutch disc's spindled hole. Do not apply force.
- 15Reinstall any bolts or mounts that were removed to replace your car's clutch. Grab the transaxle, release the jack and lower your vehicle.
- 16Consider replacing your car's clutch cable. If you don't replace the cable at least adjust it for the right amount of free-play.
- 17Confirm that your clutch's self-adjusting action is performing correctly by depressing the slave cylinder's piston into its bore.
- 18Drive your car to be sure your clutch is working properly.
