Three Way Gatalytic Converter ITWC)
Dr!criplion
Th6 Three Way Cstalytic Converter (TWC) is used to convert hydrocarbons (HCl, carbon monoxide (CO), and oxides
ot nitrogen {NOx) in the exhaust gas, to carbon dioxide (COr}, dinitrogen (N2l and water vapo..
The illustration shows the TWC tor the 818C1 engine.

CAUTION: It there is no clearanco between the mastel
cylinder piston and push lod. the releaso boaring is held
againsl the diaphragm spring, which can result in clutch
slippage 01 othel clutch problems.
Loosen locknut A, and back otf the clutch switch
{or adjusting bolt) until it no longer touches the clutch
pedal.
Loosen locknut C, and turn the push rod in or out
to get the specified stroke (@) and height (O) at the
clutch pedal.
Tighten locknut C.
Turn the clutch switch (or adjusting bolt) until it con-
tacts the clutch pedal.
Turn the clutch switch (or adjusting bolt) in 3/4 to
1 full turn further.
Tighten locknur A.
7. Loosen locknut B and the clutch interlock switch.
8. Measure the clearance between the tloor board and
clutch pedal with the clutch pedal tully depressed.
9. Release the clutch pedal 15-20 mm {O.59-O.79

Inspect the ring gear teeth for wear and damage.
Inspect the clutch disc mating surface on the
flywheel fo. wear, cracks, and burning.
Measure the flywheel runout using a dial indicator
through at least two full tu.ns. Push against the
Ilywheel each time you turn it to take up the crank-
shaft thrust washe. clearance.
NOTE; The runout can be measu.ed with engine in-
stalled.
