Repair Procedures: Installation

WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.
NOTE:
  • If reinstalling used cover, the cover should be installed with its clutch disc as a set.
  1. Apply grease on a disc spline part and transaxle input shaft spline part as required.

    Specified grease:  CASMOLY L9508

    Amount:  0.1 - 0.3 g

    NOTE:
    • When not applying: Excessive wear of splines and bad clutch operation can occur.
    • When applying excessively: Grease can be spread by the centrifugal force which can contaminate the clutch disc. This can cause a loss of friction force causing a slip.

  2. Install the clutch disc and the cover with special tool (09411-1P000).
    NOTE: Possible problems when the disc is installed in the opposite direction.
    • Transaxle shift error or a strange sound can occur due to clutch separation.

    NOTE:
    • Install the all the components with the specified torques. If not, the clutch torque transaxle may have concerns or the mounting bolt can loosen.
    • When installing the clutch cover assembly, check the fastening order for each number of bolts and tighten the bolts loosely. Then, fasten the bolts to their proper tightening torque. This can prevent twisting and vibration of the cover, and lifting of the pressure plate.
