2008 Chevrolet Aveo Clutch Disc Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to replace the Clutch Disc, pressure plate, and pilot bearing on 2008 Chevrolet Aveo?

  A: The repair process for clutch and Pressure Plate and Pilot Bearing replacement starts by removing power at the negative battery terminal. Proceed to extract the transaxle from the vehicle but follow specific procedures that match between the d16 transaxle or the y4m transaxle configurations. Start by removing Pressure Plate bolts followed by the Pressure Plate while providing support underneath the Pressure Plate for the last bolt removal step. Next follow procedures to extract the Clutch Disc from the Flywheel after removal. Check the Clutch Disc visually for disc indications of wear, oil damage and damage to torsion springs as well as warping. Check the rivet head distance from the Clutch Disc top region. The disc should be replaced due to wear when its rivet head depth falls below 0.5 mm (0.020 in) yet the standard stands at 1.2 mm (0.047 in). Run the Clutch Disc through a dial gauge check to measure eccentricity and get a new Clutch Disc if you find runout exceeding 0.7 mm (0.028 in). Check the Pressure Plate for damaged diaphragm spring fingers along with cracks or oil-related issues; plan for new replacement if needed. Before assembly start by greasing the spline on the Clutch Disc before carefully aligning the Pressure Plate and Clutch Disc with the help of clutch center guide (DT 46551) onto the Flywheel. The Pressure Plate bolts need installation with torque specifications set at 15 n.m (11 lb ft) for hydraulic clutches and 18 n.m (13 lb ft) for cable clutches. Reinstall the transaxle after you remove the clutch center guide (DT 46551) from the clutch assembly and reconnect the negative battery cable.
