Precautions

PRECAUTIONS

SBR686C
Precautions
NGCL0001
I Recommended fluid is brake fluid “DOT 3”. I Never reuse drained brake fluid. I Be careful not to splash brake fluid on painted areas. I When removing and installing clutch piping, use Tool. I Use new brake fluid to clean or wash all parts of master
cylinder, operating cylinder, and clutch damper.
I Never use mineral oils such as gasoline or kerosene. It will
ruin the rubber parts of the hydraulic system.
WARNING:
After cleaning the clutch disc, wipe it with a dust collector. Do not use compressed air.

ADJUSTING CLUTCH PEDAL

NGCL0005
NGCL0005S01
1. Adjust pedal height with pedal stopper orASCD cancel switch.
Pedal height “H”:
KA24DE: 221 – 231 mm (8.70 – 9.09 in) VG33E: 227 – 237 mm (8.94 – 9.33 in)
2. Adjust pedal free play with master cylinder push rod. Then tighten lock nut.
Pedal free play (measured at pedal pad) “A”:
9 - 16 mm (0.35 - 0.63 in)
Pedal free play means the following total measured at position of pedal pad:
I Play due to clevis pin, clevis pin hole in clutch pedal and
master cylinder.
3. Make sure that clevis pin can rotate smoothly. If not, readjust pedal free play with master cylinder push rod.

1. Adjust clearance “C” shown in the figure while fully depressing clutch pedal.
Clearance C:
0.1 - 1.0 mm (0.004 - 0.039 in)

AIR BLEEDING PROCEDURE

Bleed air according to the following procedure. Bleed air from operating cylinder.
1) Fill the master cylinder reservoir tank with new brake fluid.
2) Connect a transparent vinyl hose to the air bleeder.
3) Slowly depress the clutch pedal to its full stroke length and release it completely. Repeat this operation several times at 2 to 3 second intervals.
4) Open the air bleeder with the clutch pedal fully depressed.
5) Close the air bleeder.
6) Release the clutch pedal and wait at least 5 seconds.
7) Repeat steps 3 through 6 above until air bubbles no longer appear in the brake fluid

CLUTCH COVER AND FLYWHEEL

쐌 Check clutch cover, installed on vehicle, for uneven diaphragm
spring toe height.
Uneven limit:
KA24DE: 0.7 mm (0.028 in) VG33E: 0.5 mm (0.0020 in)
쐌 If out of limit, adjust the height with Tool.

FLYWHEEL INSPECTION

CAUTION:
Do not allow any magnetic materials to contact the ring gear teeth.
쐌 Inspect contact surface of flywheel for slight burns or discol-
oration. Clean flywheel with emery paper.
쐌 Check flywheel runout.
Maximum allowable runout:
Refer to EM-52 (KA24DE engine) or EM-110 (VG33E engine), “Inspection”, “CYLINDER BLOCK”.

Installation

쐌 Apply recommended grease to contact surface of splines. 쐌 Too much lubricant may damage clutch disc facing. 쐌 Insert Tool into clutch disc hub when installing clutch cover and
disc.
쐌 Be careful not to allow grease to contaminate clutch facing. 쐌 Tighten bolts in numerical order, in two steps.
First step:
: 10 - 20 N·m (1.0 - 2.0 kg-m,7-14ft-lb)
Final step:
: 22 - 29 N·m (2.2 - 3.0 kg-m, 16 - 22 ft-lb)
