Disc

Implementing the replacement of clutch and Pressure Plate along with Pilot Bearing begins with disconnecting the negative battery cable. Appliy transaxle removal procedures compatible with either d16 or y4m transaxles and then extract the transaxle from the vehicle. When removing the Pressure Plate bolts you must support the Pressure Plate throughout the process especially with the last bolt. The Clutch Disc must be extracted from the Flywheel during this process. Check the Clutch Disc under visible light for signs of contamination, damage to torsion springs and any warping. Check the depth of rivet heads against Clutch Disc surface. A replacement Clutch Disc is necessary when the rivet head depth falls below either 1.2 mm (0.047 in) specification or reaches the 0.5 mm (0.020 in) maximum limit. When measuring Clutch Disc runout using a dial gage it must be replaced if measurement exceeds 0.7 mm (0.028 in). The Pressure Plate needs replacement when inspecting for worn diaphragm spring fingers, oil contamination or visible cracks. The spline on the Clutch Disc requires application of multi-purpose grease before you can align the Pressure Plate and Clutch Disc onto the Flywheel using the clutch center guide (DT 46551). Screw in Pressure Plate bolts according to specifications of 15 n.m (11 lb ft) for hydraulic clutches or 18 n.m (13 lb ft) for cable clutches. End your work by taking out the clutch center guide (DT 46551) before putting the transaxle into the vehicle then reconnecting the negative battery cable.

The standard is 1.2 mm (0.047 in).

Remove the pressure plate bolts and the pressure plate, supporting it when removing the last bolt, then take out the clutch disc from the flywheel.

Replace the clutch disc.

Inspect for worn diaphragm spring fingers, cracks, or oil contamination; replace it if needed.
